Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 flatbread (gluten-free alternative if preferred)
- 2–3 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or vegan cheese for dairy-free option)
Flavor Enhancers
- 3 tablespoons hot honey (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Optional Toppings and Variations
- Shredded chicken or crispy bacon for protein boost
- Roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, or spinach for veggie upgrade
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic and Flatbread: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Finely mince the garlic cloves and mix them with olive oil to create a fragrant garlic oil that will be brushed onto the flatbread, infusing the crust with rich flavor.
- Assemble the Pizza: Place the flatbread on a baking sheet and evenly brush with the garlic olive oil mixture. Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the flatbread. Add any additional toppings you desire such as red pepper flakes or fresh herbs.
- Bake Until Golden and Melty: Bake the flatbread in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese bubbles, melts fully, and the edges turn golden-brown, ensuring a crispy and cheesy base.
- Drizzle with Hot Honey: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately drizzle hot honey generously over the top. The warmth of the flatbread helps the honey spread evenly, delivering a sweet and spicy finish.
Notes
- Use freshly minced garlic for more robust flavor.
- Choose high-quality, artisanal hot honey for better taste.
- Avoid overloading toppings to keep the flatbread crisp.
- Monitor the pizza closely while baking to prevent burning.
- Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing for cleaner cuts.
