Helpful Tips & Variations
- Don't overload the flatbread with sauce or toppings, this keeps the base crisp.
- For extra crispiness, preheat the baking tray and place the flatbread directly on the hot tray.
- You can make the hot honey ahead of time and store it in a jar. Microwave just before drizzling so it is thin.
- For a vegetarian version, skip the pepperoni and load up your flatbread with veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach.
- You can also add extra cheese varieties such as ricotta or feta for more flavor.
