Honey, Salami and Everything Seasoning Pizza
Honey, Salami and Everything Seasoning Pizza
I have Roberta’s to thank for my unhealthy obsession with a honey and salami pizza sitch. I feel like it’s such an underrated combo, and but one that just wins every single time.
I haven’t been to Roberta’s in a few years (Sorry, but the LA location doesn’t count to me. New Yorker problems I guess?! Ha!), so we often replicate it at home. And it is always, by far, the hands down favorite of any pizza night we host. Honestly, Dave can’t make them fast enough, or enough of them! Ha!
Ok, but here’s the thing, I feel like we’re all pretty familiar with honey and salami pizza by now, right? So, I really wanted to give my own unique spin to it, which is how we landed here on this jackpot of a pizza. I mean, you guys!!! When I say it is INSANE, I literally mean my mind was so blown when I took my first bite of it that I forgot where I was, what my name was, what day it was, what time it was, who I was, everything except for this pizza. I mean, it’s a honey salami pizza, which is already amazing in and of itself, but leveled up by like 1000%. And it’s not even difficult. It’s literally all thanks to 2 additional ingredients, ricotta cheese and everything seasoning. Side note- what doesn’t everything seasoning make better?! I mean, ok maybe ice-cream, but besides that, like pretty much everything.
And then we’ve got the ricotta which adds this super nice creaminess that so perfectly balances out the salty salami and sweet and spicy honey. I mean, not to be dramatic or anything but this pizza will kind of change your life. So, you know, you should probably go ahead and make it ASAP….
Honey, Salami and Everything Seasoning Pizza
INGREDIENTS
1 recipe of this pizza dough
1 1/2 cups marinara or other tomato based pizza sauce
1/3 cup everything seasoning + more for topping
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1 cup (8 ounces) ricotta cheese
2 ounces thinly sliced salami or pepperoni
1/4 cup honey (use more or less depending on your taste preferences)
Fresh thyme
Salt and fresh ground pepper
Olive oil
DIRECTIONS
Mix the dough according to the instructions, but at the very end fold in the 1/3 cup of everything seasoning.
Roll/press dough out into the shape of your choice and place on a pizza peel, baking sheet or whatever you prefer to use.
Top with the sauce, mozzarella cheese and the salami. Brush the edges of the dough with olive oil.
Cook the pizza in your preferred method, according to the instructions here. When it’s about half way through cooking, use a spoon to add dollops of the ricotta evenly across the top of the pizza, then finish baking.
Remove from heat and drizzle with the honey. Sprinkle with additional everything seasoning, salt, pepper and some fresh thyme. Slice and serve.
NOTES
For a spicier pizza, use hot honey in place of regular honey. You can also add on thinly sliced jalapeño, some hot pickled peppers or calabrian chilis, too, for a little extra kick.
This pizza is also really, really good with burrata in place of the ricotta. I use 1 container (2 balls) from Trader Joe’s when I make it that way.
