Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 lb pizza dough

Cheeses

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded fresh mozzarella

Toppings

  • 4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tbsp hot honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone inside to ensure even cooking and a crisp crust.
  2. Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough until it measures approximately 12 inches in diameter, creating an even thickness for consistent baking.
  3. Spread Ricotta: Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving about a half-inch border for the crust to develop.
  4. Add Mozzarella: Evenly sprinkle the shredded fresh mozzarella on top of the ricotta layer, ensuring comprehensive cheese coverage.
  5. Layer Prosciutto: Arrange the thinly sliced prosciutto evenly over the cheese to add a salty, savory flavor contrast.
  6. Bake Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Finish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, drizzle it with the hot honey, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice into eight pieces, and serve immediately to enjoy the balanced flavors and textures.

Notes

  • Using a pizza stone helps achieve a crispy bottom crust; if unavailable, use a preheated baking sheet.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey to your preferred level of sweetness and spice.
  • Prosciutto is best added before baking for flavor infusion; omit for a vegetarian version.
  • Fresh basil should be added after baking to retain its vibrant flavor and color.
  • Allow dough to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes for easier stretching.
