# How to Make:
01 - Combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add warm water and olive oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour.
02 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion until translucent, around 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add ground beef, breaking it up, and cook until browned. Stir in tomato paste, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and cook 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - Set oven to 480°F. If using a pizza stone, place it inside to preheat as well.
04 - Punch down the risen dough and roll or stretch into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or floured pizza peel. Spread spicy ground beef evenly over the dough, leaving a border. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top. Add jalapeños if desired.
05 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until crust is golden and cheese bubbles.
06 - Remove pizza from the oven. Drizzle immediately with hot honey and garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley if desired. Slice and serve warm.
