# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The way sweet honey cuts through spicy pepperoni feels like a discovery every single bite
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes but tastes like something from a wood fired pizza joint
  • Customizable enough that you can make it yours but the hot honey combo is already perfect
02 -
  • Preheating your baking sheet is the difference between sad soggy flatbread and crispy bottomed perfection
  • The honey pepper flake mixture needs at least 10 minutes to infuse or youll just taste honey with weird floating flakes
03 -
  • Let the flatbread rest for 2 minutes after baking so the cheese sets slightly and slices cleanly
  • If the honey thickens too much warm it for 5 seconds in the microwave before drizzling
