Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Allow the pre-made pizza dough to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, typically about ¼ inch. Transfer it onto a lightly greased pizza stone or baking sheet.
  3. Brush the rolled-out dough generously with olive oil, spreading evenly across the surface.
  4. Spread ricotta cheese evenly over the olive oil-brushed dough, leaving about a half-inch border for the crust.
  5. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the ricotta layer, covering it completely.
  6. Sprinkle dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the cheese layer.
  7. Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the cheeses are bubbling.
  8. Drizzle hot honey over the top after baking. Garnish with fresh basil and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
  9. Allow the pizza to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.
