  2. On a floured surface, stretch your pizza dough into a 10–12 inch circle and transfer it to a floured pizza peel or parchment paper.
  3. Spread an even layer of marinara sauce over the pizza base and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by pepperoni slices.
  4. Dollop spoonfuls of creamy ricotta cheese across the surface of your pizza.

  6. Drizzle hot honey over the finished pizza and garnish with crushed red pepper flakes and fresh basil or parsley before slicing.
