Ingredients
Scale
Hot Honey
- 80g / 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp hot sauce (Frank’s or Cholula recommended)
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
Flatbread Pizzas
- 2 garlic flatbreads (approx. 210g each)
- 130g / 1/2 cup pizza sauce, or as needed
- 180g / 2 cups low-moisture mozzarella cheese, or as needed
- 12 slices pepperoni, or as needed
- Sliced black olives & fresh jalapeños (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 220C/430F and place the oven tray inside to heat up thoroughly, which helps crisp the flatbread base.
- Prepare Hot Honey: In a bowl, combine honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes. Warm gently in the microwave for 10-20 seconds or on the stove until simmering, then stir and allow to cool so the flavors infuse.
- Assemble Pizzas: Spread pizza sauce evenly over each garlic flatbread. Top with shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, jalapeños, and black olives. Place a few mozzarella pieces on top of pepperoni to prevent curling during baking.
- Bake Pizzas: Remove the hot tray from the oven and place the assembled flatbread pizzas on it. Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly charred and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Finish with Hot Honey: Drizzle the cooled hot honey over the baked pizzas to your preferred amount. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious hot honey garlic flatbread pizzas!
Notes
- Heating the honey before adding chili flakes helps infuse the flavors efficiently and you can adjust spiciness by adding more chili flakes or hot sauce after cooling.
- Flatbreads vary in size and weight; adjust toppings and baking time accordingly to avoid soggy bases.
- Use thick pizza sauce or simmer store-bought sauce to thicken it so the flatbread does not become soggy.
- Use low-moisture mozzarella or thoroughly pat dry mozzarella in brine to prevent excess moisture on the pizza.
- Preheating the baking tray ensures a crisp flatbread base for sturdy pizzas.
- Calories are calculated per pizza assuming all honey is used.
