Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 flatbreads (naan or store-bought pizza crusts)
- 1.5 cups (340 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup (30 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup (85 grams) honey
- 1–2 teaspoons (5–10 milliliters) hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Pinch of chili flakes (optional)
Garnish:
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by setting the temperature to 425F (220C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal heat distribution and easy cleanup.
- Position the flatbreads carefully on the prepared baking sheet, then create a fragrant garlic-infused oil by combining olive oil and minced garlic, gently brushing this mixture across the entire surface of each flatbread.
- Distribute mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the prepared flatbreads, ensuring complete coverage and adding red pepper flakes for an optional spicy kick.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, monitoring until the cheese transforms into a melted, bubbling layer and the crust achieves a golden, crisp texture.
- Simultaneously craft the hot honey by warming honey and hot sauce in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave, stirring until smoothly combined and incorporating additional chili flakes for extra heat.
- Extract the flatbread pizzas from the oven, then lavishly drizzle the prepared hot honey across the surface, creating an enticing glaze that promises a sweet and spicy flavor profile.
- Garnish with freshly chopped herbs to add a vibrant, aromatic finish, then slice the flatbread pizzas and serve immediately while still warm and deliciously crisp.
Notes
- Experiment with different flatbread types like whole wheat, gluten-free, or naan for varied textures and dietary needs.
- Control spice levels by adjusting hot sauce and chili flakes to suit personal heat preferences.
- Ensure even cheese coverage by grating fresh mozzarella and using a light, consistent sprinkle across the flatbread surface.
- Quick microwave option for hot honey: heat honey and hot sauce in 10-second intervals, stirring between each to prevent burning.
