Spray a piece of parchment paper with cooking spray. Carefully spread the dough onto the parchment paper using a rubber spatula. Use a lot of water to help prevent sticking; dipping your fingers in water can assist in spreading. This step takes practice, so be patient. Spread the dough as thinly as possible to cover the parchment paper.

Once the sheet pan is hot, carefully remove it from the oven. Place the parchment paper with the spread dough onto the hot sheet pan. Cook for 10-12 minutes at 450°F (232°C), or until the crust is lightly golden and set.

Once the crust is finished baking, carefully remove the dough (still on parchment paper) from the sheet pan. Remove the parchment paper from the bottom of the cooked dough. Sprinkle some cornmeal (if using) directly onto the sheet pan before placing the partially baked dough back onto the pan.

Top the crust with pizza sauce, spreading it evenly with a spoon. Then, layer with fat-free mozzarella, low-fat mozzarella, and arrange the turkey pepperoni slices on top. Place the pizza back into the oven for another 5 minutes.

After the second bake, change the oven setting to broil. Finish by broiling for 2 minutes to crisp the toppings and melt the cheese until bubbly and slightly browned. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.

Once out of the oven, transfer the pizza to a cutting board. Top with optional red pepper flakes, oregano, grated Parmesan cheese, and a drizzle of hot honey. Slice into 8 rectangular pieces and serve immediately.
