FAQs
Can I use regular honey instead of hot honey?
Yes, you can use regular honey, but adding a pinch of cayenne or chili flakes gives you a similar spicy kick.
What type of flatbread works best for this pizza?
Thin, sturdy flatbreads like naan or lavash work well because they crisp up nicely without getting soggy under the toppings.
