- Won't the walnuts burn?
- Walnuts have high oil content and burn easily. Put them under the cheese or add them in the last few minutes.
- What honey should I use?
- A liquid floral honey (like Acacia) is best. Strong honeys (like Chestnut) might overpower the cheese.
Honey Walnut White Pizza with Rosemary
This 'white pizza' is a masterclass in texture and flavor. The crunch and slight bitterness of walnuts meet the sweetness of honey and the salty creaminess of cheeses. A typical winter dish that screams indulgence. The piney scent of rosemary crowns the experience.

Instructions
1
✓
Preheat oven to 430°F (220°C). Coarsely chop the walnuts.
Tip: Don't grind them; you want chunks for crunch.
2
✓
Roll out dough, place on tray. Spread with ricotta, season with salt and pepper.
Tip: Ricotta acts as the 'sauce' here, binding the toppings.
3
✓
Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and mozzarella.
Tip: Two cheeses add depth: Parmesan for flavor, mozzarella for stretch.
4
✓
Scatter the walnuts and rosemary leaves over the top.
Tip: Rosemary oils will infuse the nuts and cheese during baking.
5
✓
Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is golden.
Tip: Watch the nuts; if they brown too fast, cover loosely with foil.
6
✓
Remove and drizzle with honey while still hot. Serve immediately.
Tip: The honey becomes runny on the hot pizza, creating a perfect sweet-salty contrast.
