Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat your grill to medium-high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Brush a light layer of olive oil on top of the naan flatbread. Spread about half a cup of pizza sauce evenly over the surface, reaching all the edges.
  3. Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Crumble spicy Italian sausage over the cheese, and add dollops of ricotta cheese.
  4. Sprinkle kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper over the assembled toppings. If desired, add crushed red pepper flakes.
  5. Bake for about 12 minutes or grill for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the crust turns golden brown.
  6. Mix honey with hot sauce in a bowl. Drizzle this mixture over the pizza after removal from heat.
  7. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves over the pizza if desired. Slice and serve immediately.
