Preheat the oven to 450 and place the pizza stone on the bottom rack.
Let’s start with the dough. In a large bowl add in the honey, yeast, and lukewarm water. Give the mixture a stir and set off to the side for 10 minutes. You want this mixture to start to bubble. This shows that the yeast is waking up.
Once the mixture is bubbling (about 10 mins), add in the flours, olive oil and salt. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the dough together until it forms a shaggy mass and then pour onto the counter. Now comes the hard work. Begin kneading the dough for around 10 minutes. The goal is to be able to form a smooth dough ball. Don’t rush the process! Once the dough is smooth, place in a lightly oiled bowl and let rest on the counter until the dough has doubled in size. This usually takes around 60-90 minutes.
While the dough is rising, let’s kick on with the meatballs. In a bowl add in all of the ingredients for the meatballs. Using clean hands, work the mixture until all ingredients are incorporated. From there, form the meatballs. The goal is to make them about the size of a golf ball. You should be able to make around 15 meatballs. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet and place in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Once cooked, remove and leave off to the side until we begin to work the pizza.
Now it’s sauce time. In a sauce pan set over medium heat, add in the oil, onions and garlic, stirring constantly until onions are translucent. Next up add in the tomato paste as well as the crushed tomato. Let the sauce begin to slightly bubble before adding in the cheese and spices. Once everything is added in, reduce heat to low and you are all set.
While we still have some time before the dough is ready, increase the oven temperature to 550.
Once the dough has doubled in size, punch down the dough and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape into individual balls of dough.
Working one at a time, roll out the dough with a rolling pin into two 12 inch circles.
Now it’s time to build your pizzas! Reminder to build your pizzas on parchment paper. Makes life a lot easier.
For the meatball pizza begin with a thin layer of sauce, followed by the meatballs, and the mozzarella cheese. Next up slide the pizza (which is on parchment paper) onto a large cutting board or an upside down baking sheet. Next slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone. From here you can close the door of the oven for 1 minute. After 1 minute you can reach into the oven and quickly pull the parchment paper out and close the door. Allow the pizza to cook for an additional 8 minutes.
