Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, about 12 inches diameter)

Toppings

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes

Hot Honey Drizzle

  • 4 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp hot sauce or ½ tsp chili flakes

Garnish

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring well to infuse the flavor.
  3. Spread Butter on Dough: Roll out or place your pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture all over the surface of the dough, ensuring full coverage for flavor.
  4. Add Cheese Toppings: Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan evenly over the buttered dough, covering it completely for a cheesy, golden finish.
  5. Bake the Pizza: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  6. Make Hot Honey Drizzle: While the pizza bakes, warm the honey in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl and mix in the hot sauce or chili flakes to create a spicy honey glaze.
  7. Drizzle Hot Honey: Once the pizza is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately drizzle the warm hot honey mixture evenly over the top to add a perfect balance of sweetness and heat.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the pizza for a fresh, vibrant finish. Slice and serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes or hot sauce in the honey drizzle based on your preferred spice level.
  • For extra crispiness, you can pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor impact; roasted garlic can offer a sweeter, milder taste.
  • Serve immediately after drizzling hot honey for the best combination of textures and flavors.
  • This recipe can be customized with other toppings like sliced jalapeños or pepperoni for more variety.
