FAQs

Can I make this flatbread pizza vegan?
Yes! You can use plant-based mozzarella and omit the goat cheese or replace it with a vegan alternative. Just be sure to check that your hot honey is vegan-friendly or opt for a different sweetener.

How can I adjust the spice level?
To reduce the heat, use less crushed red pepper flakes and a milder hot honey. Alternatively, you can add more honey if you want to intensify the sweet flavor while managing the heat.

Can I freeze the flatbread pizza?
It’s best to freeze the flatbread before adding toppings. Once topped and baked, the texture may not be as appealing after thawing. If freezing, wrap the unbaked flatbread tightly in plastic wrap or foil, and it can be stored for up to 3 months.
