Description
Hot Honey Garlic Flatbread Pizzas are a deliciously spicy and sweet twist on traditional pizza, featuring crispy flatbread bases topped with pizza sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, and optional jalapeños and olives, all finished with a drizzle of warm hot honey infused with chili flakes and hot sauce.
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
- 2x Garlic Flatbreads (around 210g/7.4oz, approx. 24x18cm/9×7″)
- 130g / 1/2 cup Pizza Sauce (thick consistency preferred)
- 180g / 2 cups Low-moisture Mozzarella (freshly grated or pre-grated, dried if from brine)
- 12 slices Pepperoni
- Sliced Black Olives (optional)
- Fresh Jalapeños (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 220C/430F and place the oven tray inside to heat up, ensuring a hot surface that crisps the flatbread base.
- Prepare Hot Honey: Combine honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes in a bowl. Warm gently in the microwave for 10-20 seconds or simmer briefly on the stove to infuse flavors, then let cool to intensify the chili infusion.
- Assemble Pizzas: Spread pizza sauce evenly over each flatbread. Top with mozzarella, pepperoni, jalapeños, and olives as desired, placing some mozzarella slices over pepperoni to prevent curling during baking.
- Bake Pizzas: Remove the hot tray from the oven and place the assembled pizzas on it. Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly charred and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Finish with Hot Honey: Drizzle the cooled hot honey over the baked pizzas to add a spicy-sweet glaze before serving. Store any leftover hot honey for later use.
Notes
- Heating and cooling the honey helps to better infuse the chili flakes; you can adjust spice levels by adding more chili flakes or hot sauce after cooling.
- Use garlic flatbreads roughly 210g and 24x18cm in size; adjust toppings and bake time accordingly to prevent soggy bases.
- Choose thick pizza sauce or simmer store-bought sauce to reduce moisture, enhancing base crispiness.
- If using mozzarella soaked in brine, pat dry thoroughly to avoid extra moisture on pizzas.
- Preheating the baking tray is key to achieving a crispy flatbread bottom and sturdy pizza structure.
- Calories are calculated per pizza assuming the use of all the hot honey drizzled on top.
