Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 large garlic bread loaf (store-bought or homemade)

Cheeses

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese

Garlic Oil Mixture

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • ¼ cup hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for toasting and baking the garlic bread pizza.
  2. Prepare Garlic Bread Base: If using frozen garlic bread, bake it according to package instructions until it’s slightly toasted but not fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  3. Make Garlic Oil Mixture: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful spread.
  4. Apply Garlic Mixture: Evenly spread the garlic oil mixture over the top of the garlic bread loaf, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
  5. Add Ricotta Cheese: Crumble the ricotta cheese evenly over the garlic bread, creating a creamy layer that will melt beautifully.
  6. Sprinkle Mozzarella: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the ricotta layer, which will melt and provide a gooey, cheesy topping.
  7. Bake Garlic Bread Pizza: Place the prepared garlic bread back into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Drizzle Hot Honey: Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the hot honey over the pizza, ensuring each slice receives a sweet and spicy kick.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Let the pizza cool for a minute, then slice it. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  • If you prefer a less sweet option, reduce the quantity of hot honey drizzled on top.
  • Use fresh garlic bread for best results, but store-bought frozen garlic bread works well too.
  • Fresh basil is optional but adds a nice herbal freshness to the pizza.
  • For homemade hot honey, combine honey with chili flakes and heat gently, then cool before using.
