Notes

  • Use **fresh goat cheese** for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
     
  • Always drizzle the **honey after baking** to preserve its delicate floral taste.
      Preheat your pizza stone for at least **30 minutes** to achieve a crisp, restaurant-style crust.
  •  Don't overload the pizza with toppings, as excess moisture can prevent the crust from becoming crispy.
  •  Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to **3 days** or freeze for up to **2 months**.
    Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
