Expert Tips

• Honey – Adjust the amount of hot honey to your desired level of spiciness. For a milder pizza, use less hot honey. If you prefer more kick you can add red pepper flakes with the honey and hot sauce mixture.
• Pizza Dough – If you are using homemade pizza dough, you will need to bake the pizza first before adding the toppings.
• Cooking Time – Baking time will vary depending on your oven and the type of crust that you use. You will know that the pizza is done when the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
