I use that salt onion trick on everything! I use it when I want the raw flavor but don’t want the crunch if that makes sense

We are loving this thin-crust pizza! Last night's pie had chopped cherry tomatoes, red onion, and goat cheese. I like to smear my dough with tomato paste instead of a wetter tomato sauce. It's a great pop of flavor that's quick and never leaves my crust soggy.

If I were to use pepperoni and cheese (parm + mozz), what should I use as my third topping? Also, does mike’s hot honey count as a topping in the three topping rule or am I overthinking this?

Jax - you are overthinking it, a bit. My guidelines are just guidelines, and I break my own rules all the time.

Don't know if you still see comments on these older posts, but... Italian sausage: raw or pre-cooked? My pizzas seem to take about 15 minutes at what my oven thinks is 550 to cook, if that matters.

I like to par cook sausage and crumble it (usually homemade like this: https://slice.seriouseats.com/2010/12/italian-fennel-sausage-for-pizza-recipe.html). But at 15m bake time means even raw won't be raw once the pie is done.

How hot is the hot honey drizzle, on a scale of 1-10, 10 being habanero hot? The hot honey sure sounds like it is worth a try but if it is too hot for me I don't want to spend the money. Thanks for all your recipes and tips!!

Carol: it's closer to a 5. Hot, but not the sort of hot that prevents you from eating more and more of it...
