  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, red pepper flakes, and apple cider vinegar.
  3. Blend whole-milk ricotta, shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning in a mixing bowl, adding olive oil to mix.
  4. Dust your workspace with flour and stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on parchment paper.
  5. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving the edges for a crust.

Notes

Let the dough rest for 10 minutes before shaping for a crisper crust. Freshly grated parmesan enhances flavor significantly. Adjust red pepper flakes gradually to achieve your desired heat level. Best served fresh out of the oven.
