The pizza has three clear layers: a golden-brown crust base, a thick layer of melted and slightly browned cheese, and toppings on top including shiny, reddish-brown pepperoni slices, glossy dark black olives, and vibrant green jalapeño slices with visible seeds. The cheese stretches slightly at the slice's edge and there is a drizzle of golden oil on the board near the slice. The overall look is warm, glossy, and textured with melting cheese and fresh toppings. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1/4 cup honey (80g)
1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Frank’s or Cholula)
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust for taste preference)
2 garlic-infused flatbreads
1/2 cup tomato-based pizza sauce (130g, add more if desired)
2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella (180g, use more if needed)
12 slices pepperoni (or as preferred)
Sliced black olives and fresh jalapeños (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Place an oven tray inside to heat up; this helps crisp the flatbread base during baking.
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes. Warm the mixture in the microwave for 10-20 seconds or gently heat on the stove until slightly warm. Stir well and let it cool before using. Adjust spice levels to taste.
Step 3: Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over each flatbread. Top with shredded mozzarella, then arrange pepperoni slices, jalapeños, and black olives evenly. To prevent pepperoni from curling, place a few extra mozzarella pieces on top.
Step 4: Carefully remove the hot tray from the oven and place the assembled flatbread pizzas on it. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust edges are lightly charred and cheese is golden and bubbly.
Step 5: Once baked, drizzle the pizzas with the prepared hot honey to taste. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect mix of sweet and spicy flavors.

Tips & Variations

Use garlic-infused flatbread for extra flavor or substitute with naan or pita if unavailable.
Add fresh herbs like basil or oregano after baking for a fresh touch.
For a milder version, reduce the chili flakes and hot sauce or omit jalapeños.
Try different toppings such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or cooked sausage to customize your pizza.
To make it vegetarian, replace pepperoni with roasted vegetables and add extra cheese or plant-based alternatives.

Storage

Store any leftover hot honey in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Keep leftover pizza refrigerated in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Reheat in a hot oven or toaster oven to maintain crispness, rather than using a microwave.

How to Serve

The image shows a rustic oval-shaped pizza placed on a wooden board, sitting on a white marbled surface. The pizza has a golden-brown crust that looks slightly thick and soft. The first layer is a bright red tomato sauce spread evenly. On top is a layer of melted mozzarella cheese with a slightly bubbly texture and creamy white color. Scattered across the pizza are slices of pepperoni with a glossy, reddish-brown hue and curled edges. Bright green jalapeño slices are spread throughout, showing seeds and light shadows inside them. Black olive rings add contrast with their dark color and shiny texture. Small bits of fresh green herbs are sprinkled on top, along with some crushed pepper flakes. The overall look is vibrant and fresh, with each topping clearly visible, making the pizza look delicious and inviting. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I prepare the hot honey in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the hot honey ahead of time and store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Just give it a stir before using.

What can I use if I don’t have garlic-infused flatbread?

Naan, pita bread, or any thin flatbread work well as a substitute. You can also lightly brush regular flatbread or pizza bases with garlic oil before adding the toppings.

12 slices pepperoni (or as preferred)
Sliced black olives (optional)
Fresh jalapeños slices (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and place the oven tray inside to get it hot. This ensures the pizza base crisps up nicely during baking.

Assemble the Pizzas: Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce on each garlic-infused flatbread. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, then evenly distribute pepperoni slices, jalapeños, and olives as desired. To prevent pepperoni from curling, place a few extra mozzarella pieces over them.
Bake the Pizzas: Carefully remove the hot tray from the oven, place the assembled pizzas on it, and return to the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are lightly charred and cheese is golden and bubbly.
Finish with Hot Honey: After baking, drizzle the prepared hot honey over the pizzas. Serve immediately for the best combination of sweet and spicy flavors. Save any leftover hot honey for later use.
