Ingredients

Hot Honey Sauce

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

Flatbread Pizzas

  • 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 (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 220°C (430°F). Place the oven tray inside to ensure it gets thoroughly heated. This step is essential for achieving a crisp base on your flatbread pizzas during baking.
  2. Prepare the Hot Honey: In a small bowl, combine the honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes. Warm the mixture gently in the microwave for 10-20 seconds until it’s slightly heated, then stir well. Allow it to cool before using. Alternatively, this can be warmed on the stove by simmering briefly and then cooling. Adjust the chili and hot sauce amounts to match your preferred heat level.
  3. Assemble the Pizzas: Spread a generous layer of tomato-based pizza sauce evenly over each flatbread. Add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by arranging the pepperoni slices, jalapeños, and black olives as desired. To stop the pepperoni from curling during baking, place a few extra mozzarella pieces over them.
  4. Bake the Pizzas: Carefully remove the hot oven tray and place the assembled flatbread pizzas onto it. Return the tray to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the pizza edges are lightly charred and the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbly.
  5. Finish with Hot Honey: Once baked, drizzle the prepared hot honey evenly over the pizzas. Serve immediately while hot. Any leftover hot honey can be stored for future use to add sweet, spicy flavor to other dishes.

Notes

  • You can adjust the spiciness of the hot honey by increasing or decreasing the chili flakes and hot sauce.
  • Using garlic-infused flatbreads adds extra flavor but regular flatbreads work fine as well.
  • To keep pepperoni slices from curling up in the oven, cover them with extra cheese.
  • Leftover hot honey sauce can be refrigerated and reused for dipping or drizzling on other foods.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit pepperoni and add more veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms.
