In a large bowl, whisk together pizza crust mix and kosher salt.
Whisk together hot tap water and honey in a measuring cup or small bowl. Gently stir in yeast. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes.
Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined. The dough will be very sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently form the dough into a loose ball. Place the ball in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean, dry towel and place the bowl in a warm, undisturbed area of your kitchen. Allow the dough to rise for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Place the dough ball on a pizza stone or parchment-lined baking sheet. Using your fingers, gently press the dough out to form a 1/2-inch thick circle. Place the dough in the oven and allow to bake for 20 minutes, or until the bottom of the crust is a light shade of golden brown.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface of the pre-baked pizza crust. Sprinkle on the cheese. Top with banana peppers and crispy bacon. Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Cut into eight slices and serve immediately.
