1 pizza dough ball 
65 g tomato sauce Spread thinly
80 g mozzarella In pieces, well drained
6 slices pepperoni 
15 g bell peppers 
15 g red onions 
10 g jalapeños Well drained
5 g parmesan Finely grated
15 g hot honey Add after baking
4 fresh basil Leaves
1 tsp garlic oil Add to the crust after baking
Method
- Take the dough ball out of the fridge about 2 hours before baking and leave it covered to come to room temperature.
- Preheat the pizza oven to 320°C.
- Lightly dust the work surface with semolina. Place the dough ball on it and gently press outwards from the centre, leaving the outer 1,5–2 cm untouched. Carefully stretch the dough into a round pizza base.
- Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the base. Top with mozzarella, a little Parmesan, pepperoni, thinly sliced onion, pepper and jalapeño. Make sure the vegetables and mozzarella in particular are as dry as possible to prevent the pizza from becoming too wet.
- Bake the pizza for about 4 minutes at 320°C, until the crust is nicely coloured and the base is well baked.
- After baking, place the pizza briefly on a wire rack. Then drizzle hot honey over the pizza, grate fresh Parmesan over it and add fresh basil. Lightly brush the crust with garlic oil or another flavoured oil.

The story behind this recipe
This pizza came about while I was searching for the perfect combination of spicy, savoury and sweet. Pepperoni, jalapeño and red onion add plenty of heat, while the hot honey brings everything beautifully into balance. It has since become one of my favourite pizzas to make at home.
