Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    No draining required! Fire-roasted tomatoes are kind of like a thick pizza sauce. Simply spread them over the crust without draining them first.
  • tip 2
    To get some goat cheese in almost every bite, break it into small clumps to sprinkle over the pizza.
  • tip 3
    The hot honey ingredients need to cook together briefly, for the hotness to come through. Cook the hot honey only for 1 minute or it will become too thick to drizzle.
