Ingredients

  • Pizza dough – homemade or store-bought
  • cup marinara – homemade or store-bought
  • ½ cup shredded White Cheddar Cheese
  • ½ cup shredded Havarti Cheese
  • 6-8 pieces Spicy Calabrese
  • 2-3 basil leaves minced
  • drizzle Mike's Hot Honey optional

Instructions

  • Heat the oven. Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat the oven to 550 degrees F or as high as possible. You want your oven as hot as possible. 
  • Prepare pizza dough.  Flour a surface and add your pizza dough. Use your hands or a rolling pin to roll the dough from the center to the edges until the circle is about half an inch thick.  Once fully rolled out, place parchment paper on your pizza peel, gently pick up the dough, and lay it on top. 
  • Add Toppings: Add about 1/3 cup of marinara and spread it evenly on the dough with the back of a spoon.
    Add spicy calabrese, and sprinkle the white cheddar and Havarti cheese evenly on top.
  • Bake: Gently slide pizza onto the pizza stone and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown. 
    Turn on the broiler to make the cheese brown on top if needed. Be careful not to burn the pizza, as this process goes quickly. 
  • To serve: Remove pizza from the oven, add minced basil leaves on top, and drizzle Mike's hot honey or regular honey. Cut into slices to serve immediately.
