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 Sauce

  • 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. Prepare Garlic Bread: If using frozen garlic bread, bake it following the package instructions until 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.
  4. Spread Garlic Oil: Evenly spread the garlic oil mixture over the top of the garlic bread loaf, ensuring full coverage for flavor.
  5. Add Ricotta Cheese: Crumble the ricotta cheese over the garlic bread, spreading it out evenly to form a creamy layer.
  6. Add Mozzarella Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the ricotta to form a melty topping.
  7. Bake Cheese Topped Bread: 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: Once baked, remove from oven and immediately drizzle hot honey evenly over the top to add sweetness and spice.
  9. Serve and Garnish: Let cool for a minute, then slice the bread pizza. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes based on your spice preference to control heat level.
  • Use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor in the garlic oil mixture.
  • If you don’t have hot honey, combine honey with a pinch of chili flakes as a homemade alternative.
  • This recipe works well with homemade garlic bread for a more personalized touch.
  • Serve immediately for best texture, as the bread can become soggy if left too long.
