Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons all purpose flour, for rolling on surface

• 3 garlic cloves, sliced
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

1. Pre-heat oven to 475. Place pizza stone in oven and heat for at least an hour. Let dough rest at room temperature while pizza stone preheats.

3. Brush olive oil on entire crust. Evenly sprinkle 1 cup cheese and 1/2 the garlic. Slide the pizza into the oven and bake for 15 minutes, rotating the pizza half way through. Remove from oven and sprinkle the thyme. Drizzle the honey and top with crushed red pepper.
