Can I substitute the ricotta cheese?

Absolutely! Goat cheese creates a tangier flavor, while mascarpone makes it extra rich. Even cream cheese works in a pinch, though thin it with a tablespoon of milk first.

What if my hot honey is too spicy?

Start with just 1 tablespoon and taste as you go. You can also mix regular honey with just a tiny pinch of red pepper flakes for a milder version.

Will this work on regular pizza dough?

Yes! Roll it thin and pre-bake for 5 minutes before adding toppings to prevent sogginess from the ricotta moisture.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
Lightly brush one side of the flatbread with olive oil to help achieve a crispy crust.
On the non-oiled side of the flatbread, spread ricotta cheese evenly, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over ricotta layer, then arrange pepperoni slices evenly on top.
Sprinkle dried oregano, salt, and pepper over the top for added flavor.
Transfer flatbread to baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is bubbly and edges are golden brown.
Immediately drizzle hot honey over entire pizza to infuse flavors while hot.
Let cool for one minute, garnish with fresh basil if desired, slice and serve hot.

Notes

Use pizza stone for crispiest crust if available. Don’t overload with toppings to ensure even cooking.
Adjust hot honey amount based on spice preference. Fresh basil added after baking provides best flavor and color.
