Instructions

For the hot honey, combine the 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon calabrian chili paste, and pinch of salt in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 15 seconds. Mix to combine. If needed, microwave for an additional 15 seconds. Alternatively, you can gently simmer in a small saucepan and remove from the heat when the consistency is saucey and drizzle-able.
Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
Dust a rimmed baking sheet lightly with flour. Place the pizza dough on the flour and gently stretch and form the dough into a 12 by 13-inch oval using your fingertips.
Spoon the tomato sauce over the pizza dough, leaving ½ inch empty around the rim for a crust. Evenly sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt. Sprinkle the torn mozzarella over the sauce, and drizzle evenly with roughly 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the crust is golden brown on the edges.
Once out of the oven, allow the pizza to cool slightly for 5 minutes. Drizzle with the Calabrian honey and top with fresh basil, if desired.
