Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 12–16 oz your favorite pizza dough (at room temperature)

Cheeses

  • 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1–2 oz grated parmesan cheese

Toppings

  • 2–3 oz beef prosciutto
  • A few stems fresh oregano (leaves stripped)

Hot Honey Drizzle

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 475°F-500°F (245°C-260°C) with a pizza stone or steel inside to ensure a crispy crust. Let the pizza dough rest at room temperature. Lightly flour your work surface and hands, then gently stretch the dough to your desired size and thickness, taking care not to tear it. Transfer the stretched dough onto parchment paper or a floured pizza peel for easy handling.
  2. Layer the Cheeses: Evenly spread the ricotta cheese over the pizza dough, leaving a border around the edges for the crust. Generously scatter shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer, then sprinkle grated parmesan over the mozzarella for added flavor depth.
  3. Add Beef Prosciutto and Oregano: Gently tear or drape slices of beef prosciutto over the cheese layer, ensuring even coverage. Strip fresh oregano leaves from the stems and scatter them evenly across the pizza to infuse fresh herbal notes.
  4. Prepare Hot Honey Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, and balsamic vinegar until thoroughly combined, creating a spicy-sweet hot honey drizzle for finishing the pizza.
  5. Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated pizza stone or steel in the oven. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and the cheeses are bubbly with slight browning. In the final minute of baking or immediately after removing the pizza from the oven, drizzle the hot honey mixture artfully over the top.
  6. Rest and Serve: Allow the pizza to rest for a minute or two after baking. Then slice and serve to enjoy the balanced flavors and textures.

Notes

  • Resting the dough at room temperature makes stretching easier and helps achieve a better crust texture.
  • Using a preheated pizza stone or steel is key to ensuring a crispy bottom crust.
  • You can adjust the cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
  • Fresh oregano adds a brighter herbal note than dried oregano would.
  • The hot honey drizzle is best applied right at the end to maintain its fresh flavor and contrasting texture.
  • Allowing the pizza to rest briefly helps the cheese set slightly, making slicing easier.
