Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 2 flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Cheese Toppings
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
Finishing Touches
- 1/4 cup hot honey (or regular honey with a pinch of cayenne)
- Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the flatbread pizzas to a golden crisp.
- Prepare the Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet and brush each with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Evenly distribute the minced garlic over the flatbreads, then sprinkle red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to add flavor and heat.
- Add Cheeses: Dollop the ricotta cheese evenly across the flatbreads, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top to create a creamy, melty topping.
- Bake: Bake the flatbreads in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the flatbreads turn golden brown, indicating they are perfectly cooked.
- Drizzle with Hot Honey: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and while still warm, drizzle them generously with hot honey to add a delicious sweet and spicy finish.
- Garnish and Serve: Top the flatbreads with fresh basil leaves for a burst of color and flavor. Slice and serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and taste.
Notes
- You can adjust the red pepper flakes to your spice preference or substitute with a milder pepper.
- If you don’t have hot honey, mix regular honey with a pinch of cayenne pepper to create your own.
- Use store-bought flatbreads for a quick meal or make your own flatbread for a homemade touch.
- For a crispier crust, place flatbreads directly on the oven rack during baking.
