# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The hot honey creates this incredible sweet heat balance that keeps everyone reaching for another slice
  • Its ready in 35 minutes but tastes like something from a fancy wood fired pizza joint
02 -
  • Never bake with honey on top. It burns quickly and turns bitter. Always drizzle fresh from the oven
  • A hot pizza stone makes the difference between good pizza and great pizza. If you dont have one preheat your baking sheet
03 -
  • Make your own hot honey by simmering honey with sliced jalapeños for 10 minutes then straining. It keeps for months in the fridge
  • If your crust is browning too fast but the cheese isnt bubbly yet tent it loosely with foil for the last few minutes
