Start by making the pizza dough with 00 flour for a delicate crust.

Add instant yeast and salt to the flour and mix them together in a bowl.

Pour in olive oil and lukewarm water, mixing until combined.

Knead the dough on medium speed for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Transfer the dough to a glass bowl with a splash of olive oil, turning it to coat.

Cover the bowl tightly with cling wrap and a towel, letting it proof at room temperature for 2 hours.

After 2 hours, stretch and fold the dough four times to strengthen it.

Optionally, divide the dough for immediate use or refrigerate it for up to 4 days for better flavor.

To make hot honey, combine honey and Calabrian peppers in a small pot.

Heat the mixture until it simmers, then remove from heat and let it cool to infuse flavors.
