Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 4 pieces of flatbread (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing the flatbread)
Cheese Toppings
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (optional for creaminess)
Hot Honey Garlic Sauce
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp hot honey (or regular honey with a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to heat preference)
Garnish
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if you want easier cleanup.
- Prepare the flatbreads: Lightly brush each flatbread with olive oil and place them on the baking sheet or directly on the oven rack for a crispier crust.
- Bake the flatbreads: Bake the flatbreads in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until they turn golden and develop a slight crisp.
- Make the hot honey garlic sauce: Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Sauté garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Add sauce ingredients: Stir in the hot honey (or regular honey with red pepper flakes), soy sauce, and additional red pepper flakes.
- Simmer the sauce: Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly, then remove from heat.
- Assemble the pizzas: Remove the crispy flatbreads from the oven and spread a thin layer of ricotta cheese if using, followed by a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on each.
- Drizzle sauce: Evenly drizzle the hot honey garlic sauce over the cheese-topped flatbreads.
- Bake the pizzas: Return the assembled flatbreads to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and serve: Once baked, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a fresh, colorful garnish.
- Slice and serve: Slice the flatbread pizzas and serve immediately while warm and delicious.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, place the flatbreads directly on the oven rack instead of a baking sheet during the first bake.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the heat level of the sauce.
- The ricotta cheese is optional but adds a lovely creaminess to balance the spicy honey garlic sauce.
- Use gluten-free flatbread if you’re looking to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
