How to Make It

DoughUse a 72-hour cold-fermented sourdough to provide a tangy foundation that complements the heat of the habanero and the sweetness of the fruit.
SauceApply the Mango Habanero sauce in a thin, uniform layer, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust to rise and char.
  1. 1Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or steel inside for at least 45 minutes to ensure maximum heat retention.
  2. 2On a floured surface, stretch the dough to a 12-inch circle, ensuring the center remains thin while keeping the edges slightly thicker.
  3. 3Spread the Mango Habanero sauce evenly over the dough base using the back of a spoon.
  4. 4Distribute a generous layer of shredded Mozzarella over the sauce to act as a creamy heat buffer for the toppings.
  5. 5Evenly place the sliced Chicken and diced Canadian Bacon across the cheese layer to ensure protein in every bite.
  6. 6Add thinly sliced Bell Peppers and Onions to provide crunch and aromatic sweetness during the high-heat bake.
  7. 7Crumble the Feta cheese over the top; the high salt content will contrast beautifully with the spicy mango base.
  8. 8Slide the pizza onto the stone and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the crust is blistered and the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
  9. 9Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 2 minutes on a wire rack to prevent the bottom from becoming soggy.
  10. 10Finish by drizzling the Saffron-Infused Honey in a zig-zag pattern across the entire pizza before slicing and serving.
Chef's Tip

To maximize the aromatic experience, warm the Saffron-Infused Honey slightly before drizzling; this releases the saffron's floral oils and allows it to better penetrate the crust and salty feta.
