Cast Iron Pepperoni & Hot Honey Pizza

Preheat your cast iron skillet in a 450°F oven for at least 30 minutes.

Carefully remove the hot skillet and place it on a stovetop burner set to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to coat the bottom of the skillet.

Stretch or roll out 1 pound of pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. Gently place the dough into the hot skillet, pressing it to the edges.

Spread 1/2 cup of tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border for the crust.

Sprinkle 8 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by 4 ounces of pepperoni slices.

Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of hot honey over the pizza and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves.

Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy!
