Hot Honey Flatbread Pizza Recipe

Introduction

This Delicious Hot Honey Flatbread Pizza is a quick and flavorful twist on classic pizza. Combining a spicy-sweet hot honey drizzle with crispy garlic flatbreads, melted mozzarella, and pepperoni, it’s perfect for an easy weeknight dinner or a fun snack.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup honey (80g)
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Frank’s or Cholula)
• 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust for taste preference)
• 2 garlic-infused flatbreads
• 1/2 cup tomato-based pizza sauce (130g, add more if desired)
• 2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella (180g, use more if needed)
• 12 slices pepperoni (or as preferred)
• Sliced black olives and fresh jalapeños (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Place an oven tray inside to heat up, which will help crisp the pizza base during baking.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix the honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes. Warm the mixture in the microwave for 10-20 seconds until slightly heated, then stir well and let it cool. Alternatively, warm it gently on the stove and remove to cool.
3. Step 3: Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over each flatbread. Top with a layer of mozzarella cheese, then arrange the pepperoni slices evenly. Add jalapeños and black olives if using. To keep pepperoni slices flat, place a few extra mozzarella pieces on top.
4. Step 4: Carefully remove the hot tray from the oven and place the assembled pizzas onto it. Return to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are lightly charred and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
5. Step 5: Once baked, drizzle your preferred amount of hot honey over the pizzas. Serve immediately and enjoy the balance of spicy and sweet flavors.

Tips & Variations

• Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili flakes and hot sauce to the honey mixture.
• Use naan or pita bread instead of garlic flatbreads for a different texture.
• Try other toppings like mushrooms, bell peppers, or cooked sausage for added variety.
• To keep pepperoni slices from curling up during baking, placing extra mozzarella on top helps to weigh them down.

Storage

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 5-7 minutes to maintain crispiness. If you have leftover hot honey, keep it refrigerated and use it within one week, warming slightly before drizzling.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make the hot honey in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the hot honey ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Just warm it slightly before using to restore its drizzle consistency.

What can I use if I don’t have garlic-infused flatbreads?

Regular flatbreads, naan, or pita bread work well as substitutes. You can add a light brushing of garlic oil to mimic the garlic flavor.

Hot Honey Sauce

• 1/4 cup honey (80g)
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Frank’s or Cholula)
• 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust for taste preference)

Pizzas

• 2 garlic-infused flatbreads
• 1/2 cup tomato-based pizza sauce (130g, add more if desired)
• 2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella (180g, use more if needed)
• 12 slices pepperoni (or as preferred)
• Sliced black olives (optional)
• Fresh jalapeños, sliced (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Place the oven tray inside while preheating to ensure it becomes very hot, which helps crisp up the flatbread base during baking.
2. Prepare the Hot Honey: In a small bowl, combine the honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes. Warm the mixture gently in the microwave for 10-20 seconds until slightly heated, then stir well. Let it cool before using. Alternatively, you can warm it in a small pot on the stove by bringing it to a simmer and then removing it to cool. Adjust chili flakes and hot sauce amounts according to your preferred spice level.
3. Assemble the Pizzas: Spread a generous layer of tomato-based pizza sauce evenly over each garlic-infused flatbread. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Arrange pepperoni slices evenly, followed by optional toppings like sliced black olives and fresh jalapeños. To prevent pepperoni from curling while baking, add a few extra mozzarella pieces over the pepperoni slices.
4. Bake the Pizzas: Carefully remove the hot oven tray and place the assembled flatbread pizzas onto it. Return the tray to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the flatbread edges are lightly charred and the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbly.
5. Finish with Hot Honey: Once baked, remove the pizzas from the oven and drizzle them with your desired amount of the prepared hot honey sauce. Serve immediately while hot. Save any leftover hot honey in a sealed container for future use.

Notes

• Adjust the amount of chili flakes and hot sauce in the hot honey to control the spice level.
• Using pre-warmed oven tray ensures a crispier flatbread base.
• The garlic-infused flatbread adds an extra layer of flavor, but you can substitute with regular flatbread if desired.
• Adding extra mozzarella over pepperoni helps keep the slices flat and prevents curling during baking.
• Leftover hot honey can be stored in the refrigerator and used as a sweet-spicy drizzle on other dishes.
