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 Oven: Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C), ensuring it is hot enough to give the pizza a crispy crust.
- Prepare Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to about ½ inch thick to create an even base for your toppings.
- Add Cheese: Spread torn pieces of fresh mozzarella evenly over the rolled-out dough, ensuring each bite has creamy cheese.
- Layer Prosciutto: Place thin slices of prosciutto evenly on top of the mozzarella, adding a savory richness.
- Drizzle Olive Oil: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the assembled pizza to help with browning and flavor during baking.
- Bake Pizza: Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of hot honey for a sweet and spicy kick, then sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan and fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, consider preheating a pizza stone before baking.
- Adjust the amount of hot honey to control the level of sweetness and heat.
- Fresh mozzarella works best; avoid using low-moisture pre-shredded cheese for optimal melt and texture.
- Let the dough rest at room temperature for 30 minutes if refrigerated before rolling out.
