Ingredients
Scale
- 2 flatbreads (naan or store-bought pizza crusts)
- 1.5 cups (360 ml) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup (60 ml) Parmesan cheese, grated
- ¼ cup (60 ml) honey
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1–2 tsp (5–10 ml) hot sauce (Franks or sriracha)
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Pinch of chili flakes (optional)
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Set the oven to 425F (220C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal heat distribution and easy cleanup.
- Flatbread Seasoning: Delicately brush each flatbread with a fragrant mixture of olive oil and minced garlic, ensuring even coverage across the surface.
- Cheese Layer: Generously distribute mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the garlic-infused flatbreads, sprinkling red pepper flakes for an optional spicy kick.
- Baking Process: Transfer the prepared flatbreads to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the cheese transforms into a molten, golden blanket and the edges crisp to a delightful golden-brown.
- Hot Honey Creation: While the pizzas are baking, craft the zesty hot honey by gently warming honey with hot sauce in a small saucepan, incorporating chili flakes for an extra layer of heat.
- Final Touch: Remove the sizzling flatbread pizzas from the oven and lavishly drizzle with the spicy-sweet hot honey, then garnish with a vibrant sprinkle of fresh herbs for a burst of color and flavor.
- Serving: Slice the pizzas into wedges and serve immediately while the cheese remains gloriously melted and the crust maintains its crisp texture.
Notes
- Spread mozzarella and Parmesan evenly to ensure consistent melting and prevent dry or overly greasy spots on flatbreads.
- Keep an eye on flatbreads during 8-10 minute baking window to prevent burning while achieving golden crispy edges.
- Customize hot honey by adding more or less hot sauce and chili flakes to match personal heat tolerance and flavor preferences.
- Select fresh, sturdy flatbreads that can hold toppings without becoming soggy, ensuring a crisp and satisfying base.
