naan or flatbread (store-bought or homemade)
mozzarella cheese (shredded)
garlic (minced)
olive oil
red pepper flakes
salt
black pepper
fresh basil or parsley (for garnish)

For the hot honey:
honey
crushed red pepper flakes

directions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, mix minced garlic with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.

Brush the garlic oil mixture generously over the flatbreads.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over each flatbread.

Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the edges are crisp and golden.

While pizzas bake, make the hot honey: in a small saucepan, warm honey over low heat. Stir in red pepper flakes and a splash of apple cider vinegar if using. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Drizzle hot honey over baked pizzas and garnish with chopped fresh basil or parsley.

Slice and serve immediately.
