Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 450? F.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, push the dough out until it's thin (about a 10-12 inch circle). Transfer the dough to a baking sheet. Lightly brush the crust with olive oil, then sprinkle with parmesan, sesame seeds, thyme, garlic, shallots, and chili flakes. Drizzle over the honey.
  3. Add the mozzarella and provolone. Arrange the lemon slices over the cheese, and top with a handful of torn basil leaves.
  4. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling. Remove from the oven and top with 2 big handfuls of fresh basil. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

For a crispy base, use a hot pizza stone if you have one. Fresh herbs are best added after baking for flavor. Don't overload the pizza with toppings to prevent a soggy crust.
