Introduction

This white pizza with prosciutto and hot honey offers a perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors. The creamy mozzarella and salty prosciutto pair beautifully with the spicy-sweet drizzle of hot honey, making it an irresistible treat for any pizza lover.

The image shows a round pizza with a golden-brown crust that is thick and puffy around the edges. It has a layer of red tomato sauce at the base, topped with melted white cheese that is bubbly and slightly browned in some spots. On top of the cheese are irregular pieces of creamy white mozzarella, scattered across the surface. Thin slices of light pink prosciutto are spread evenly over the pizza. There is a sprinkle of green herbs on top, adding small flecks of color. The pizza is placed on a wooden board, set on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, torn into pieces
4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
2 tbsp hot honey
1 tbsp olive oil
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a hot baking environment for a crispy crust.
Step 2: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about ½ inch thickness.
Step 3: Spread torn pieces of fresh mozzarella evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Step 4: Arrange the thin slices of prosciutto on top of the cheese layer.
Step 5: Drizzle olive oil over the entire pizza to add flavor and help with browning.
Step 6: Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden and the cheese bubbles.
Step 7: Remove the pizza from the oven, then drizzle the hot honey over it. Finish by sprinkling fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a crispier crust, pre-bake the rolled dough for 3-4 minutes before adding toppings.
Substitute fresh mozzarella with burrata for an extra creamy texture.
Adjust the amount of hot honey to control the level of sweetness and heat.
Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you like more spice.

Storage

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 8-10 minutes to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent a soggy crust.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I make this pizza dough from scratch?

Absolutely! Homemade pizza dough works wonderfully and can add extra flavor and texture. Just be sure to let it rest and rise properly before rolling out.

What is hot honey and can I substitute it?

Hot honey is a sweet honey infused with chili or other spicy peppers, adding a sweet heat contrast. If you don’t have hot honey, you can drizzle regular honey and sprinkle a pinch of chili flakes on top instead.
