Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 2 flatbreads (naan or pizza crusts)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Cheese Toppings
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Hot Honey Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1–2 teaspoons hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Prepare Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads onto the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine olive oil and minced garlic, then generously brush this mixture evenly over each flatbread to infuse them with robust garlic flavor.
- Add Cheese and Spices: Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses over the flatbreads. If you like a bit of heat, add the red pepper flakes on top for a subtle spicy kick.
- Bake Pizzas: Bake the flatbreads in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese melts thoroughly and the edges of the flatbreads turn golden brown and crispy.
- Make Hot Honey: While the pizzas bake, combine the honey and hot sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Warm gently until the mixture is heated through and well blended, creating a sweet and spicy drizzle.
- Serve with Hot Honey Drizzle: Once baked, remove the pizzas from the oven and immediately drizzle the warm hot honey sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve hot for a perfect balance of flavors.
Notes
- You can use naan or any thin pizza crust as the base for this recipe.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce in the honey to control the spiciness.
- Fresh herbs such as basil or parsley make a great garnish but are optional.
- For a vegetarian option, ensure the cheeses used do not contain animal rennet.
- This recipe is best served immediately for the best texture and flavor.
