Hot Honey Flatbread Pizza Recipe

Introduction

Hot Honey Flatbread Pizza is a deliciously spicy and sweet twist on a classic favorite. With the perfect balance of fiery chili flakes and sweet honey, this easy-to-make pizza is sure to satisfy your cravings. Using garlic-infused flatbreads keeps the process quick and flavorful.

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 up the pizza base during baking.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes. Warm the mixture in the microwave for 10–20 seconds or gently simmer on the stove until slightly heated. Stir well and let it cool before using.
3. Step 3: Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over each flatbread. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, then top evenly with pepperoni, jalapeños, and olives if using. To keep pepperoni from curling, add a few extra pieces of mozzarella over them.
4. Step 4: Carefully remove the hot tray from the oven and place the assembled pizzas on it. Return to the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly charred and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
5. Step 5: After baking, drizzle the pizzas with the prepared hot honey to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy the spicy, sweet, and savory flavors.

Tips & Variations

• Adjust the heat level by increasing or decreasing chili flakes and hot sauce in the hot honey mixture.
• Use chicken, sausage, or vegetables as alternative toppings instead of pepperoni.
• For a milder version, reduce or omit the chili flakes and jalapeños.
• Try mixing some fresh herbs like basil or oregano on top before serving for added freshness.

Storage

Store any 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 5–7 minutes to maintain crispiness. Keep leftover hot honey in a sealed jar at room temperature for up to one week.

FAQs

Can I make the hot honey ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the hot honey mixture in advance and store it in a sealed container at room temperature for up to a week. Just warm it slightly before drizzling on the pizza if desired.

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

You can use regular flatbreads or naan as a base. To add garlic flavor, brush them with a little garlic-infused oil or minced garlic before adding the toppings.

Hot Honey Mixture

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

Pizza Base and Toppings

• 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) and place an oven tray inside to heat up. This ensures a crispy pizza base by providing high initial heat during baking.
2. Prepare the Hot Honey: In a small bowl, combine honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes. Warm slightly in the microwave for 10-20 seconds or on the stove in a small pot until just heated, then stir well. Allow to cool before using to enhance flavors and prevent melting the cheese prematurely.
3. Assemble the Pizzas: Spread a generous layer of tomato-based pizza sauce over the garlic-infused flatbreads. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce. Layer 12 pepperoni slices on top, and add sliced jalapeños and black olives if desired. Optionally, place extra mozzarella pieces over the pepperoni to prevent curling while baking.
4. Bake the Pizzas: Carefully remove the hot oven tray and place the assembled pizzas on it. Return the tray to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden, and the flatbread edges are lightly charred and crispy.
5. Finish with Hot Honey: Once baked, remove the pizzas from the oven and immediately drizzle the prepared hot honey over them to add a spicy-sweet glaze. Serve hot and enjoy the vibrant flavor combination. Save any leftover hot honey for future use.

Notes

• You can adjust the spiciness of the hot honey by varying the chili flakes and hot sauce quantities.
• Adding extra mozzarella on top of pepperoni prevents the slices from curling during baking.
• Use garlic-infused flatbreads to add an extra layer of flavor without extra prep.
• If you prefer a crisper base, let the oven tray preheat longer before placing pizzas on it.
• Leftover hot honey can be refrigerated and used later as a versatile condiment for other dishes.
