LET’S MAKE SOMETHING GOOD

The method

  1. 01

    Heat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Lightly oil a large baking sheet. Let chilled dough stand while you prepare the toppings.

  2. 02

    On a lightly floured surface, stretch the dough to a 12–14-inch round and transfer to the baking sheet.

  3. 03

    Spread with pizza sauce, leaving a one-inch border. Add mozzarella and pepperoni.

  4. 04

    Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the crust is golden underneath and the cheese is bubbling. Ovens and dough thickness vary; continue baking if the center is doughy.

Times are estimates. Check doneness and any required internal temperature before serving.

A little sweet. A little heat. All yours.

Hot Honey Grilled Cheese

Golden sourdough and melted cheddar meet a little hot honey in this skillet sandwich. Medium-low heat gives the cheese time to melt before the bread gets too dark.
