# How To:

03 - In skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking into crumbles. Drain excess fat.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The hot honey creates this incredible sweet-spicy finish that makes every bite interesting
  • It comes together in under 40 minutes but tastes like something from a fancy pizza place
02 -
  • Never put the honey on before baking, it will burn and turn bitter
  • Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes after baking, otherwise the cheese slides right off when you slice it
03 -
  • If your dough keeps shrinking back, let it rest for 10 minutes and try again
  • The feta can get salty, so taste it before adding extra salt to the crust
