  • The hot honey drizzle transforms everything into something magical and slightly addictive
  • It comes together in under 40 minutes but tastes like it took all day
02 -
  • Never put honey on before baking or it will burn and turn bitter
  • A pizza stone makes a huge difference in crust texture but a preheated baking sheet works too
03 -
  • Use a rimless baking sheet or pizza peel to transfer dough easily onto your hot stone
  • Letting the pizza rest for those 5 minutes prevents all your cheese from sliding off when you slice
