Ingredients

Scale

Garlic Bread Base

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

Cheese Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup ricotta cheese

Garlic Oil Mixture

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

Finishing Touches

  • 0.25 cup hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
  • Optional: Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
  • To serve: Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the garlic bread pizza.
  2. Toast Garlic Bread: If using frozen garlic bread, bake it per package instructions until slightly toasted but not fully cooked, roughly 5-7 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  3. Prepare Garlic Oil Mixture: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, mixing well.
  4. Spread Mixture: Evenly spread the garlic oil mixture over the top surface of the garlic bread loaf.
  5. Add Ricotta Cheese: Crumble and distribute ricotta cheese evenly over the garlic bread to create a creamy base layer.
  6. Add Mozzarella Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the ricotta layer for a melty, cheesy topping.
  7. Bake: Return the prepared garlic bread pizza to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Drizzle Hot Honey: Remove from oven and immediately drizzle the hot honey evenly across the top to add a sweet and spicy flavor contrast.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Allow to cool slightly, then slice into pieces. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust red pepper flakes according to your preferred level of spiciness.
  • Use fresh garlic bread or frozen depending on convenience; slightly toasting frozen bread beforehand improves texture.
  • Homemade hot honey can be substituted with store-bought for ease.
  • Adding fresh basil enhances freshness and aroma.
