Ingredients
Scale
Hot Honey Sauce
- 80g / 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp hot sauce (Frank’s or Cholula recommended)
- 1/2 tsp chilli flakes (adjust to taste)
Flatbread Pizzas
- 2 garlic flatbreads (approximately 210g each)
- 130g / 1/2 cup pizza sauce, or as needed
- 180g / 2 cups low-moisture mozzarella, or as needed
- 12 slices pepperoni, or as needed
- Sliced black olives (optional)
- Fresh jalapeños, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 220C/430F and place an oven tray inside to heat thoroughly, which will help crisp the flatbread bases.
- Prepare hot honey sauce: Combine the honey, hot sauce, and chilli flakes in a bowl. Warm it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds or heat on the stove until simmering, then let it cool to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Assemble pizzas: Spread each flatbread evenly with pizza sauce. Top with mozzarella cheese, then arrange pepperoni slices on top. Optionally, add sliced jalapeños and black olives. Place a few extra mozzarella pieces over pepperoni slices to prevent curling.
- Bake pizzas: Carefully remove the preheated tray from the oven and place the assembled flatbreads onto it. Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly charred and cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Finish and serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven and drizzle generously with the prepared hot honey sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Heating the honey before cooling helps the chilli flakes infuse quickly for a more flavorful hot honey. Adjust spiciness by adding more chilli flakes or hot sauce after cooling, or buy pre-made hot honey for convenience.
- Garlic flatbreads come in various sizes; typical ones weigh about 210g and measure 24x18cm. Adjust topping quantities and baking times accordingly. Avoid overloading toppings to maintain a crispy base.
- Use a thick pizza sauce for best results; if store-bought sauce is watery, simmer to thicken before use to prevent soggy pizza.
- Freshly grate mozzarella from a block for best melting or use pre-grated. If using mozzarella in brine, pat dry thoroughly to remove moisture.
- Preheating the baking tray is key to crisping the flatbread bottom and maintaining structure.
- Nutrition values are calculated per pizza assuming full use of honey.
