Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Flatbread (store-bought or homemade)
Olive oil
Shredded mozzarella or provolone
Ricotta or goat cheese (optional, for creamy contrast)
Fresh or dried thyme or oregano
Crushed red pepper flakes (for heat)
Hot honey (store-bought or made with honey + chili flakes)
Optional toppings: arugula, caramelized onions, sliced tomatoes, roasted garlic

Directions

I preheat my oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat up.
I brush the flatbread with olive oil, then sprinkle on shredded mozzarella or provolone. I dollop small spoonfuls of ricotta or crumble some goat cheese over the top.
I add a pinch of thyme or oregano and crushed red pepper flakes for flavor.
I bake the flatbread on the hot tray for about 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden and crisp.
Once out of the oven, I immediately drizzle it with hot honey.
I slice and serve right away while the cheese is still melty and the flatbread is crisp.

Servings and timing

One flatbread serves 1–2 people, depending on appetite. This recipe takes about 5 minutes to prep and 10 minutes to bake, so it’s ready in under 15 minutes.

Variations

I like switching up the cheese—adding blue cheese for a bold bite or fontina for extra meltiness. Sometimes I add cooked mushrooms, thin-sliced red onion, or roasted veggies. For more heat, I use extra chili flakes or a spicy pepper-infused honey. A handful of fresh arugula on top after baking gives it a nice peppery finish.

storage/reheating

If I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, I place the slices in a skillet or oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to crisp them back up. I avoid the microwave—it makes the crust soft. Savory Hot Honey Flatbread Pizza

FAQs

What is hot honey?

Hot honey is honey infused with chili flakes or peppers. It adds a sweet, spicy kick that works great on pizza, chicken, or roasted veggies.

Can I make my own hot honey?

Yes! I gently warm honey with chili flakes or a sliced fresh chili, then let it sit to infuse. I strain it if I want a smoother drizzle.

What flatbread should I use?

I use naan, pita, or any thin flatbread that gets crispy in the oven. Even tortillas work in a pinch for a thinner crust.

Is this recipe spicy?

It depends on how much hot honey or red pepper I use. I control the heat based on my taste—it can be mild or fiery.

Can I make it vegan?

Absolutely. I use plant-based cheese and maple syrup infused with chili for a vegan hot “honey” effect.
