Hot Honey Garlic Pizza (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Garlic Bread Base

01 - 1 large loaf Italian bread or ciabatta
02 - 60 grams unsalted butter, softened
03 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1 teaspoon dried parsley or 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
05 - Salt, to taste

→ Pizza Toppings

06 - 100 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
07 - 125 grams cooked chicken, shredded (optional)
08 - 60 grams sliced red onion
09 - 60 grams sliced bell peppers
10 - 30 milliliters hot honey (adjust to taste)
11 - Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Heat oven to 190°C. Slice bread loaf horizontally and place on a baking sheet. Combine softened butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, and salt. Spread mixture evenly over bread cut sides.
02 - Bake bread for 5 to 7 minutes until edges are golden and garlic aroma is released, ensuring a crisp foundation.
03 - Remove bread from oven. Distribute mozzarella cheese evenly over each half. Layer shredded chicken, red onions, and bell peppers atop cheese. Drizzle hot honey over all toppings.
04 - Return loaded bread to oven and bake another 5 to 7 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbling, monitoring to prevent over-browning.
05 - Allow bread pizza to cool for one minute. Cut into portions, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes if desired, and serve warm.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Pre-baking the bread ensures a crispy base that prevents sogginess under toppings.
02 - Softened butter and room temperature cheese melt more evenly.
