Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ball homemade whole wheat pizza dough or your favorite store-bought dough
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 slices pepperoni (or halal turkey pepperoni)
- 1 tablespoon hot honey
- a pinch red pepper flakes
- thinly sliced fresh basil optional
- ½ cup crumbled goat cheese
- thinly sliced red onion
- 1 to 2 handfuls fresh arugula
Instructions
- If you're using homemade whole wheat pizza dough, prepare it according to your favorite recipe and allow it to rise until doubled. If using store-bought dough, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
- Sprinkle a clean surface with flour and roll out the dough into your desired shape and thickness.
- Transfer the dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet. Spread 1 cup of pizza sauce evenly over the base. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, then add 12 slices of pepperoni on top.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes, crumbled goat cheese, thinly sliced red onion, and drizzle 1 tablespoon of hot honey over the pizza.
- Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from oven, let cool for a minute, then top with fresh basil and a handful of arugula. Slice and serve.
