Preparation

Step 1

One hour before baking, place a pizza stone on rack in top third of oven. Preheat oven to 500°F.

On a lightly floured work surface, use your hands or a rolling pin to shape dough into a 14-inch circle. Transfer dough to a pizza peel or rimless baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Spread with sauce. Top with cheese and pepperoni. Bake 8 minutes. Turn on broiler; broil pizza 1 minute or until cheese is bubbly and edges are puffed and browned. Slice before drizzling with honey. If desired, garnish with basil.
