Pizza Ingredients:

• Fresh pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 large Fennel bulb, thinly sliced
• 1 bunch Fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 2 cups Honey
• 2 cups Ricotta cheese
• ½ cup Fresh lemon zest and 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• ½ cup Walnuts, roughly chopped and toasted
• A splash of Chardonnay (or other white wine)
• Olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Thyme-Infused Honey Directions:

Mix thyme and honey in a small pan and slowly heat to allow the honey to be infused with thyme flavour and set aside to cool, approximately 15 minutes.

Pizza Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 400˚. Heat 2 tbsp. of oil in a medium frying pan. Add fennel and sauté until it starts to caramelize and brown. Add a splash
of Chardonnay and cook for another minute or two. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, lemon zest and juice together and season with salt and pepper. Roll pizza dough out and place on a greased sheet pan or use a pre-heated pizza stone. Spread half of the ricotta cheese over top of the dough. Place caramelized fennel over the ricotta. Dollop the remaining ricotta cheese over the entire pizza and drizzle with olive oil.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the pizza crust starts to brown. Remove from oven to cutting board. Sprinkle chopped walnuts and drizzle thyme-infused honey over pizza.
