Ingredients
Scale
Hot Honey Glaze
- 1/4 cup honey (80g)
- 1 tsp hot sauce (Frank’s or Cholula recommended)
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes
Main Pizza Ingredients
- 2 garlic flatbreads (about 210g each, 24x18cm size)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce (130g), thick and preferably homemade or thickened if store-bought
- 2 cups low-moisture mozzarella cheese, freshly grated (180g)
- 12 slices pepperoni
- Optional: sliced black olives
- Optional: fresh jalapeños, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 220C/430F and place the oven tray inside to heat up thoroughly. This helps the flatbread base crisp up nicely during baking.
- Prepare Hot Honey: In a small bowl, combine honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes. Warm gently in the microwave for 10-20 seconds or on the stove just until simmering, then stir and allow to cool so the chili flavor infuses the honey well. Adjust heat level by adding more chili flakes or hot sauce if desired.
- Assemble Pizzas: Spread each garlic flatbread evenly with pizza sauce. Top with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, jalapeños, and olives as desired. Place a few pieces of mozzarella over the pepperoni to prevent curling during baking.
- Bake: Remove the hot tray from the oven and place the assembled pizzas onto it. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until edges are lightly charred and cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the baked pizzas with the prepared hot honey glaze to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful hot honey garlic flatbread pizzas!
Notes
- Heating and cooling the honey allows the chili flakes to infuse more effectively for a better flavor.
- Adjust spice level by adding more chili flakes or hot sauce after the honey has cooled.
- If you prefer convenience, store-bought hot honey can be used instead of making your own.
- Choose flatbreads around 210g and approximately 24x18cm for best results; adjust toppings and bake time for different sizes.
- Use a thick pizza sauce to avoid soggy bases; simmer store-bought sauce to thicken if needed.
- Freshly grate mozzarella if possible; if using mozzarella in brine, pat dry thoroughly to remove moisture.
- Preheating the baking tray crisps the base and helps maintain its structure.
- Each pizza contains approximately the calories indicated, assuming full use of honey glaze.
