What type of cheese is best for this pizza?

Ricotta adds creaminess while fresh mozzarella melts beautifully, offering a rich texture and mild flavor that complements prosciutto well.

How do I get a crispy crust on the pizza?

Preheating the oven with a pizza stone helps achieve a crispy crust by distributing heat evenly and soaking up moisture from the dough.

Can I substitute hot honey with another ingredient?

Yes, alternatives like honey mixed with chili flakes or a drizzle of spicy chili oil can provide a similar sweet-heat balance.

When should fresh basil be added?

For best flavor and texture, add fresh basil leaves right after baking to preserve their brightness and aroma.

Is prosciutto added before or after baking?

Thin slices of prosciutto are layered on before baking, allowing it to warm gently without becoming crispy, maintaining its delicate texture.
