# How-To Steps:

02 - Combine honey and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl and set aside to infuse.
03 - Place flatbreads on parchment paper and lightly brush edges with olive oil if desired.
04 - Spread a thin, even layer of pizza sauce over each flatbread, leaving a small border around edges.
05 - Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce on each flatbread.
06 - Distribute pepperoni slices evenly over cheese, then scatter thin red onion slices on top.
07 - Transfer flatbreads with parchment onto the preheated baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and crust is golden.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in 25 minutes flat, which means you can go from craving to eating before you've even finished your drink.
  • That sweet-heat combination is absolutely addictive, and people always ask what you did differently.
  • You get that crispy-chewy satisfaction without the fuss of making dough from scratch.
02 -
  • Don't skimp on the flatbread quality or you'll end up with something that tastes cardboard-adjacent. A decent store-bought one makes all the difference.
  • The honey needs to be drizzled after baking, not before, or it just burns off and you lose all that caramelized magic.
03 -
  • If your honey is crystallized or thick, warm it gently for 10 seconds in the microwave before mixing with the pepper flakes so it combines smoothly.
  • Using parchment paper is not just easier, it actually helps the bottom crisp up better because it distributes heat more evenly than metal.
