Ingredients
Scale
Bread Base
- 1 large crusty bread loaf (such as baguette or ciabatta)
Toppings
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Slice Bread: Slice the bread loaf in half lengthwise to create two flat surfaces that will serve as the pizza base.
- Prepare Garlic Oil: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic with extra virgin olive oil and brush this mixture generously over both bread halves, ensuring even coverage for flavor.
- Add Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the garlic-oiled bread halves to create a melty, cheesy layer.
- Drizzle Hot Honey: Drizzle hot honey evenly over the cheese to add a sweet and spicy kick to the flavor profile.
- Season: Sprinkle chili flakes over the honey-drizzled cheese according to your preferred heat level, then finish by scattering fresh chopped parsley on top for freshness and color.
- Bake: Place the prepared bread halves on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from oven, slice into serving pieces, and serve warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- Adjust chili flakes quantity based on your spice preference.
- Use any crusty bread you prefer, like sourdough or French bread.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute mozzarella with vegan cheese.
- Hot honey can be homemade by mixing honey with chili flakes or purchased pre-made.
- Optionally, add other toppings like sliced jalapeños or cooked sausage for variation.
