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.
