This Hot Honey Garlic Bread Pizza combines the comforting flavors of garlic bread with the fun of pizza. A crispy Italian bread base is smothered in garlic butter, topped with savory pizza sauce, gooey mozzarella, pepperoni, and finished with a drizzle of spicy-sweet hot honey and fresh parsley for an irresistible appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Butter

  • 1 large loaf of Italian bread, halved lengthwise
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni or other toppings of choice

Finishing Touches

  • 2 tablespoons hot honey
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine softened unsalted butter with minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
  3. Spread garlic butter on bread: Evenly coat the cut sides of the halved Italian bread with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
  4. Bake bread base: Place the bread halves cut side up on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the bread is lightly golden and the butter has melted into the bread.
  5. Add pizza toppings: Remove the bread from the oven and spread pizza sauce evenly over each half. Then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top and arrange sliced pepperoni or your chosen toppings.
  6. Bake with toppings: Return the bread halves to the oven and bake for another 12 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  7. Finish and serve: Drizzle the hot honey evenly over the cooked bread pizzas. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for color and freshness. Slice into portions and serve warm to enjoy the perfect balance of spicy, sweet, garlicky flavors.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, omit the pepperoni and add vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey to your preferred spice level, or omit for a milder flavor.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, but garlic powder can be substituted in a pinch.
  • Make sure the bread is sturdy enough (like Italian or French bread) to hold the toppings without getting soggy.
  • This recipe is perfect for quick weeknight snacks or party appetizers.
