Instructions:
1. Prepare the Hot Honey:
This is where the magic begin extracts! In a small, microwave-safe bowl or a small saucepan, combine the 3 tablespoons of honey, 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. If you love a good kick, feel free to increase the cayenne pepper to 1/4 teaspoon or even a little more. Give it a good stir to ensure the spices are well distributed. If using a microwave, heat it in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until the honey is warm and slightly more fluid. Be careful not to overheat it, as you don’t want it to bubble vigorously. If using a saucepan, gently warm it over low heat, stirring constantly, until it’s just warm. Once heated, stir in the 1/2 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. The balsamic adds a subtle tang that cuts through the sweetness and complements the spicy notes perfectly. Set this delicious hot honey aside to cool slightly while you prepare the rest of the pizza. The longer it sits, the more the flavors will meld.
2. Preheat Your Oven and Prepare the Pizza Base:
This pizza cooks best at a high temperature to achieve that perfect crispy crust. Preheat your oven to its highest setting, typically 500-550°F (260-290°C). If you have a pizza stone or steel, place it in the oven while it preheats. This will help create a wonderfully crisp bottom crust. On a lightly floured surface, gently stretch or roll out your room-temperature pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape, aiming for roughly a 12-14 inch circle or rectangle. Be gentle with the dough; you don’t want to tear it. If the dough is resistant, let it rest for a few minutes before continuing. Carefully transfer the stretched dough to a piece of parchment paper or a lightly floured pizza peel for easy transfer to the oven.
3. Assemble the White Pizza Base:
Now for the creamy foundation! Spread the 1/4 cup of ricotta cheese evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Don’t worry if it’s not perfectly smooth; little dollops of ricotta are wonderful. Next, generously sprinkle the 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta. If you’re using fresh mozzarella, make sure it’s grated or torn into small pieces for even melting. Finally, sprinkle the 1-2 ounces of grated Parmesan cheese over the mozzarella. The Parmesan adds a salty, nutty depth to the cheese blend.
4. Add the Beef Beef Prosciutto and Bake:
It’s time to layer on that luxurious beef beef prosciutto. Tear or arrange the 2-3 ounces of beef beef prosciutto artfully over the cheese. Don’t overcrowd it; you want distinct pieces to crisp up and become wonderfully savory. Carefully slide the pizza (with the parchment paper, if using) onto the preheated pizza stone or steel in the oven. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned in spots. Keep a close eye on it as ovens can vary, and you don’t want to burn the edges. The high heat is key to getting that lovely char and crispness.
5. Finish and Serve:
Once the pizza is baked to perfection, carefully remove it from the oven. Immediately drizzle the prepared hot honey generously over the entire pizza. The warmth of the pizza will help the honey spread and meld with the other toppings. Finally, finely chop or tear the leaves from a few stems of fresh oregano and scatter them over the hot pizza. The fresh oregano adds a bright, herbaceous counterpoint to the richness of the pizza and the spicy honey. Let the pizza rest for a minute or two before slicing and serving. This allows the cheese to set slightly and prevents everything from sliding off. Get ready to experience a delightful dance of flavors with every single bite!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use a different type of beef?
While the recipe specifies a certain preparation of beef for optimal flavor and texture, you could experiment with other pre-cooked beef options like thinly sliced roast beef or even shredded beef. Just ensure it’s well-seasoned and not overly wet, as excess moisture can make the pizza soggy.
Is the hot honey essential?
The hot honey is a key component that truly elevates this pizza, providing that signature sweet and spicy contrast. If you absolutely cannot find hot honey, you could try drizzling regular honey with a pinch of red pepper flakes, or a very mild chili-infused oil, but the result might be slightly different. It’s definitely worth seeking out!
What kind of white sauce is best?
A classic bécbeef hamel sauce forms the base of our white pizza. It’s rich, creamy, and provides the perfect canvas for the other toppings. You can also use a good quality store-bought Alfredo sauce in a pinch, but a homemade bécbeef hamel offers superior flavor and texture.
