Ingredients
Scale
Hot Honey Sauce
- 80g / 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp hot sauce (Frank’s or Cholula preferred)
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
Pizza Base and Toppings
- 2 garlic flatbreads (approximately 210g each, 24x18cm size)
- 130g / 1/2 cup pizza sauce (thick consistency recommended)
- 180g / 2 cups low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 12 slices pepperoni
- Sliced black olives (optional)
- Fresh jalapeños, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 220C/430F and place the oven tray inside to heat thoroughly; this will help crisp up the flatbread bases.
- Prepare Hot Honey Sauce: In a bowl, mix honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes. Warm in the microwave for 10-20 seconds or bring to a simmer on the stove, then stir and allow to cool to let the flavors infuse.
- Assemble Pizzas: Spread pizza sauce evenly over each garlic flatbread. Top with shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, jalapeños, and black olives as desired. Place a few extra pieces of mozzarella on top of the pepperoni to keep it from curling during baking.
- Bake: Carefully remove the hot tray from the oven, place the assembled pizzas on it, and bake for 10 minutes until the edges are lightly charred and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Add Hot Honey and Serve: Drizzle your preferred amount of the cooled hot honey sauce over the baked pizzas before serving. Store any leftover hot honey for future use and enjoy your spicy, sweet flatbread pizzas!
Notes
- Heating the honey before cooling helps infuse the chili flakes more effectively; adjust spiciness by adding more chili flakes or hot sauce after cooling.
- Use flatbreads around 210g and 24x18cm for best results; adjust topping quantities and baking time based on flatbread size to avoid soggy bases.
- For pizza sauce, choose a thick variety or simmer store-bought sauce to reduce moisture and prevent soggy crusts.
- Freshly grate mozzarella from a block for best melt and texture; if using brined mozzarella, thoroughly pat dry to eliminate excess moisture.
- Preheating the baking tray crisps the flatbread bottom and helps maintain structure under toppings.
- Calories listed are per pizza assuming use of all the honey.
