Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
Toppings
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, torn into pieces
- 4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Finishing Touches
- 2 tbsp hot honey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for a crispy, golden crust.
- Prepare the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to about ½ inch thick, creating an even layer ready for toppings.
- Add the Mozzarella: Spread the torn fresh mozzarella evenly over the rolled-out dough to create a creamy cheese base.
- Layer Prosciutto: Arrange the thinly sliced prosciutto slices evenly atop the mozzarella for a savory addition.
- Drizzle Olive Oil: Pour the olive oil over the pizza to enhance flavor and help the crust brown beautifully during baking.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust turns golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
- Finish with Honey, Basil & Parmesan: Remove the pizza from the oven, drizzle it generously with hot honey for a sweet-spicy kick, then sprinkle fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, consider preheating a pizza stone in the oven before baking.
- Adjust hot honey quantity to taste for preferred spice levels.
- Make sure to use fresh mozzarella for the best texture and flavor.
- This pizza is best enjoyed immediately for optimal cheese melt and crust texture.
