Spicy Honey Soppressata Pizza - The Bee Sting Pizza

Step 1

Place a pizza stone on lowest rack in oven and preheat oven to 500°F.

Step 2

Lightly dust flour on a pizza peel.  Working quickly, dust pizza dough in flour and stretch gently into a thin circle(ish) shape.  Depending on the size of your pizza, spread 1/3 – 1/2 cup pizza sauce in a thin, even layer across dough.  Scatter torn mozzarella cheese on pizza.

Step 3

With a quick jerk motion the pizza should easily release from the peel onto the pizza stone in oven (this is why it’s important to flour both the peel and dough, and work quickly).  Bake pizza in oven for approximately 10 minutes.  Depending upon the thickness of your dough, it could take a little less or a little more, so check frequently.

Step 4

Remove from oven, top with a generous drizzle of honey and some fresh basil leaves.  Slice and devour.
