The slice has three main layers: a golden crust at the bottom with a slightly crispy edge, a melted yellow and white cheese layer covering the crust, and a topping layer featuring round, glossy pepperoni slices and bright green jalapeno rings, along with small pieces of black olives and scattered green herbs. The cheese is slightly browned and oily, with some cheese stretching off the slice, and there are shiny drops of oil on the wooden board next to it. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1/4 cup honey
1/2 tsp chili flakes (red pepper or Aleppo)
1 tsp hot sauce
Black olives, to taste
Fresh jalapeños, thinly sliced
2 garlic-infused flatbreads
2 cups shredded mozzarella (low-moisture, blend of whole milk and part-skim)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
12 slices pepperoni (thin, 2-inch diameter)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Place the oven tray inside to heat thoroughly—this helps crisp the flatbread base during baking.
Step 2: In a small bowl, combine honey, chili flakes, and hot sauce. Warm the mixture in the microwave for 10-20 seconds or gently heat on the stove until just warm. Stir well and let it cool before using. Adjust chili flakes and hot sauce to taste.
Step 3: Spread pizza sauce evenly over the flatbreads. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, then top with pepperoni, jalapeños, and black olives. To keep pepperoni flat, add a few extra mozzarella pieces on top.
Step 4: Carefully remove the hot tray from the oven. Place the assembled pizzas on it and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly charred and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Step 5: After baking, drizzle the hot honey generously over the pizzas. Serve immediately and enjoy the wonderful blend of spicy and sweet flavors.

Tips & Variations

For a milder version, reduce the chili flakes or omit the hot sauce from the hot honey.
Try swapping pepperoni for spicy sausage or chorizo for a different flavor profile.
Use a store-bought garlic flatbread or naan for quick assembly.
Add fresh herbs like basil or oregano after baking for extra freshness.

Storage

Store any leftover pizza covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a hot oven or toaster oven to help the crust stay crispy. Keep leftover hot honey in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

How to Serve

An oval-shaped pizza sits on a wooden board over a white marbled surface, featuring a golden-brown crust with slight charring at the edges. The first layer is a red tomato sauce spread evenly, topped with a generous layer of melted, creamy white cheese. On top, there are round pepperoni slices with a shiny, oily surface, green jalapeño rings with a firm texture, and sliced black olives scattered throughout. Small bits of chopped green herbs and a light drizzle of sauce add extra color and texture. The toppings are spaced out evenly across the pizza, showing a well-balanced mix of colors and layers. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make the hot honey without chili flakes?

Yes, you can omit chili flakes if you prefer just a sweet honey drizzle, but the chili flakes add a nice subtle heat that complements the pizza well.

What can I substitute for garlic-infused flatbread?

If you don’t have garlic-infused flatbread, plain naan or pita bread works great. You can also brush flatbreads with garlic oil before adding toppings to mimic the flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Hot Honey:

1/4 cup honey (Local Hive honey recommended for rich flavor)
1/2 tsp chili flakes (red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper flakes)
1 tsp hot sauce

For the Pizza:

2 garlic-infused flatbreads
1/2 cup pizza sauce (Rao’s Homemade recommended)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (low-moisture, blend of whole milk and part-skim)
12 slices pepperoni (thinly sliced, 2-inch diameter)
Black olives, sliced
Fresh jalapeños, thinly sliced

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and place the oven tray inside to heat. This ensures the flatbread pizza base crisps nicely during baking.
Prepare the Hot Honey: In a small bowl, combine the honey, chili flakes, and hot sauce. Warm gently in the microwave for 10-20 seconds or on the stove by simmering briefly. Stir well and let it cool before use. Adjust chili flakes and hot sauce amounts to your desired heat level.
Assemble the Pizzas: Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce evenly over each flatbread. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese atop the sauce. Arrange the pepperoni slices across the pizzas, followed by slices of jalapeños and black olives. To keep pepperoni from curling, add a few extra mozzarella pieces over the pepperoni.
Bake the Pizzas: Remove the hot tray from the oven and place the assembled flatbread pizzas on it. Return the tray to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the pizza edges are lightly charred and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Finish with Hot Honey: Once baked, drizzle the pizzas with the prepared hot honey according to taste. Serve immediately to enjoy the delightful mix of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors. Save leftover hot honey for future use.

Notes

Using a hot tray ensures a crisp flatbread base similar to traditional pizza crusts.
Adjust chili flakes and hot sauce in the hot honey to control the spice level.
Placing extra mozzarella over pepperoni prevents curling and promotes even cooking.
Leftover hot honey can be stored refrigerated and used as a versatile spicy-sweet drizzle.
Thinly slice jalapeños to add heat without overwhelming the pizza.
