Ingredients
Scale
Hot Honey
- 80g / 1/4 cup Honey
- 1 tsp Hot Sauce (Frank’s or Cholula recommended)
- 1/2 tsp Chilli Flakes (adjust to taste)
Pizza Base and Toppings
- 2 Garlic Flatbreads (approx. 210g each, 24x18cm/9×7″)
- 130g / 1/2 cup Pizza Sauce
- 180g / 2 cups low-moisture Mozzarella
- 12 slices Pepperoni
- Sliced Black Olives (optional)
- Fresh Jalapeños (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 220C/430F and place the baking tray inside to heat up, ensuring the base of the flatbread crisps up nicely when baking.
- 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. Stir well and set aside to cool, allowing the flavors to infuse.
- Assemble Pizzas: Spread pizza sauce evenly over the garlic flatbreads. Top with mozzarella cheese, then arrange pepperoni slices, jalapeños, and olives if using. Place a few mozzarella pieces over the pepperoni to prevent curling during baking.
- Bake: Carefully remove the hot tray from the oven, place the assembled flatbreads on it, and bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly charred and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Drizzle the hot honey over the baked flatbread pizzas to your preferred taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Heating the honey allows the chili flakes to infuse more deeply; adjust spiciness by adding more chili flakes or hot sauce after cooling.
- Flatbreads vary in size and weight; adjust topping quantities and baking time accordingly to prevent sogginess.
- Use a thick pizza sauce to avoid watery pizzas; simmer store-bought sauce if necessary to thicken.
- Freshly grate mozzarella or pat dry if using mozzarella in brine to reduce moisture and prevent soggy pizza bases.
- Preheating the baking tray aids in crisping the flatbread base and maintaining its structure during baking.
- Calories are estimated per pizza assuming all the honey is used.
