This hot honey pizza is topped with pepperoni, hot peppers, shredded mozzarella, tangy goat cheese crumbles, and is finished with a glorious homemade hot honey drizzle.

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces Local Hive™️ Honey Clover Blend
  • 4-8 dried arbol chiles ((depending on how hot you want it))
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne ((extra spicy!))
  • 6 ounces salt-free tomato sauce
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 ball overnight thin crust pizza dough ((200-250 grams))
  • 3 tablespoons pizza sauce
  • 1 cup low-moisture, whole milk mozzarella cheese
  • 1 Fresno pepper ((thinly sliced))
  • ¼ cup pepperoni
  • ⅛ cup goat cheese
  • 1-2 tablespoons hot honey

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven with baking steel at 500°F for 1 hour prior to baking. Remove pizza dough from fridge (if refrigerated) and allow to come to room temperature at least 60-90 minutes prior to stretching.

  2. 2

    In a small, 1 quart sauce pot crack dried arbol chiles in half to release the seeds. Toast pods and seeds until lightly fragrant over low-medium heat for about 60-90 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Make the pizza sauce. Combine all of the ingredients in the bowl of a mini food processor and blitz on high speed until well combined.

  4. 4

    Lightly dust a wooden pizza peel with semolina flour.

  5. 5

    Shimmy. Give the hot honey pizza a shimmy on the wooden pizza peel to make sure that no parts of the crust have stuck. Dust additional flour underneath any stuck spots if needed.
