Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 4 pieces of flatbread (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing the flatbread)
Cheeses
- 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 (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if you choose to use one, to make cleanup easier.
- Prepare the flatbreads: Lightly brush each flatbread with olive oil, then lay them out on the baking sheet or place directly on the oven rack for a crisper crust.
- Bake the flatbreads: Bake for 5-7 minutes until the flatbreads turn golden and develop a slightly crispy texture.
- Make the hot honey garlic sauce: While the flatbreads bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Sauté the garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
- Add sauce ingredients: Stir in the hot honey (or regular honey combined 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 baked flatbreads from the oven. Spread a thin layer of ricotta cheese evenly over each (if using), then top with shredded mozzarella.
- Drizzle sauce: Pour the hot honey garlic sauce evenly over the cheese-covered flatbreads.
- Final bake: Return the assembled flatbreads to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese melts and bubbles.
- Garnish and serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for a fresh touch.
- Slice and enjoy: Cut into slices and serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- You can make your own flatbread or use store-bought for convenience.

- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the heat level in the sauce.
