Hot Honey Mixture
- 1/4 cup honey (80g)
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Frank’s or Cholula)
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust for taste preference)
Pizza Base & Toppings
- 2 garlic-infused flatbreads
- 1/2 cup tomato-based pizza sauce (130g, add more if desired)
- 2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese (180g, use more if needed)
- 12 slices pepperoni (or as preferred)
- Sliced black olives (optional)
- Fresh jalapeños, sliced (optional)
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Place a baking tray inside the oven to heat up; this will help crisp the base of the pizza during baking.
- Prepare the Hot Honey: In a small bowl, mix the honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes. Warm the mixture gently in the microwave for 10-20 seconds or on the stove until slightly heated, then stir well. Allow it to cool before using. Adjust chili flakes and hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
- Assemble the Pizzas: Spread a generous layer of tomato-based pizza sauce over each flatbread. Add an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. Arrange pepperoni slices evenly, adding jalapeños and black olives if using. To keep pepperoni slices from curling, top them with a few extra pieces of mozzarella.
- Bake the Pizzas: Carefully remove the hot baking tray from the oven and place the assembled pizzas onto it. Return the tray to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden, and the edges are lightly charred.
- Finish with Hot Honey: Remove the pizzas from the oven and immediately drizzle with the prepared hot honey to taste. Serve the pizzas hot for a perfect blend of spicy and sweet flavors. Save any leftover hot honey for future use.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of chili flakes and hot sauce in the hot honey to make it milder or spicier according to your taste.
- Using a hot baking tray helps achieve a crispier flatbread crust.
- Feel free to substitute pepperoni with other meats or keep it vegetarian by omitting it altogether.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flatbreads.
- Leftover hot honey can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
