This vibrant pizza features a crisp crust topped with creamy ricotta cheese, a spicy drizzle of hot honey, fresh garlic, red pepper flakes, and fragrant herbs, making it a deliciously elevated pizza experience that’s quick, versatile, and visually stunning.

Ingredients

Base

  • Pizza dough: 1 fresh or store-bought dough ball (about 12 inches diameter)

Cheese & Dairy

  • Ricotta cheese: 1 cup, room temperature

Flavor Enhancers

  • Hot honey: 3 tablespoons
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic cloves: 2, minced
  • Red pepper flakes: 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
  • Fresh herbs (basil or thyme): 2 tablespoons, chopped
  • Salt: ½ teaspoon
  • Black pepper: ¼ teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your preferred thickness and shape. Brush the entire surface generously with olive oil to promote a crispy crust and enhance flavor.
  2. Add Garlic and Ricotta: Evenly spread the minced garlic over the dough, infusing it with warm, savory notes. Next, dollop the room temperature ricotta cheese in generous spoonfuls across the pizza base, creating a creamy layer that will bake into soft, cheesy pockets.
  3. Bake the Pizza: Place your prepared pizza in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C). Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden-brown and the ricotta is lightly bubbling.
  4. Drizzle Hot Honey and Garnish: Immediately after removing the pizza from the oven, evenly drizzle the hot honey over the top. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and fresh herbs like basil to amplify the flavor and add vibrant color.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ricotta for easier spreading and creamier texture.
  • Preheat your oven to ensure a crisp crust instead of a soggy base.
  • Add just enough hot honey to brighten flavors without overpowering other ingredients.
  • Fresh herbs should be added after baking to preserve aroma and color.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes and hot honey quantities to customize your preferred spice level.
