Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza with a Canna-Oil Crust

Sweet heat meets a canna-oil crust: pepperoni, jalapeño and a drizzle of hot honey. The dough makes two pizzas, so bake one and freeze the other.

This cannabis pizza recipe bakes the infusion into the crust: canna-oil kneaded into a simple dough, topped with pepperoni, jalapeño and mozzarella and finished with hot honey. The dough makes two 12-inch pies.

How this cannabis pizza recipe doses by the slice

Total the canna-oil in the dough, divide by two dough balls, then by eight slices. With oil estimated at 32 mg per tablespoon, 2 tablespoons give 64 mg: about 32 mg per pizza and 4 mg per slice at most. Weigh the balls so they match.

Use one dose point at a time. On an infused crust, drizzle plain hot honey; save canna-honey for a plain or lightly dosed crust, measured per slice. Have one slice, then wait 2 hours.

Ingredients and method

Bloom the yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar, mix in the oils, flour and salt, knead until smooth, and let the dough double in size. Divide it, stretch one ball, add sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni and jalapeño, and bake on a preheated stone or sheet at 450°F. Finish with honey warmed with red pepper flakes, plus parmesan. Our canna-oil recipe covers the infusion, and you can order flower ahead for curbside pickup at your nearest store.

Storage and labeling

Freeze the second dough ball in an oiled bag labeled "infused," with the date and its mg. Refrigerate leftover slices in a labeled container and eat them within 3 to 4 days. Keep it all away from kids and pets; poison control is 1-800-222-1222.

Swaps

Go vegetarian with mushrooms, peppers, red onion and olives. With store-bought dough, brush measured canna-oil evenly over it before topping. Pair it with our herbed grilled cheese for a comfort-food spread.

Recipe

Makes
Two 12-inch pizzas (8 slices each)
Prep time
2 hours
Cook time
15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 envelope active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 1/3 cups warm water (about 110°F)
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose or bread flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons canna-oil (or the amount your dose math calls for)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce per pizza
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella per pizza
  • 2 ounces sliced pepperoni per pizza
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced, per pizza
  • 2 tablespoons honey per pizza (plain, or measured canna-honey on a plain crust)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, plus more to taste
  • Grated parmesan, for finishing

Steps

  1. Stir the yeast and sugar into the warm water and let it stand 5 to 10 minutes, until foamy.

  2. Add the olive oil and canna-oil, then the flour and salt, and mix into a shaggy dough.

  3. Knead on a floured counter for 8 to 10 minutes, until smooth and springy.

  4. Place in an oiled bowl, cover and let it double in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

  5. Divide into two equal balls, weighing them to be sure. Freeze one, labeled, if you're baking a single pizza.

  6. Heat the oven to 450°F with a pizza stone, steel or upside-down baking sheet inside for at least 30 minutes.

  7. Stretch one ball into a 12-inch round on parchment. Spread the sauce and add the mozzarella, pepperoni and jalapeño.

  8. Slide it onto the hot stone and bake 12 to 15 minutes, until the crust is browned and the cheese bubbles.

  9. Warm the honey with the red pepper flakes, drizzle it over the pizza, scatter parmesan and cut 8 equal slices.

Frequently asked questions

Does a 450°F bake destroy THC?

No, not wholesale. The oven air is hot, but the inside of the crust stays far cooler and the bake is short. A lab study of THC brownies found baking didn't degrade the THC. Some loss is still possible, so read your per-slice number as a ceiling.

Can I use store-bought dough?

Yes. Let it come to room temperature so it stretches easily, then brush a measured amount of canna-oil over the stretched dough, right to the edges, before the sauce goes on. Divide the oil's estimated mg by your number of slices.

Can I freeze infused dough?

Yes. Once it has doubled, oil the ball lightly, seal it in a freezer bag and label it with the date, the word infused and its estimated mg. Thaw it overnight in the fridge and let it sit out for an hour before shaping.
