Garlic Bread Base
- 1 large garlic bread loaf (store-bought or homemade)
Cheeses
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Flavoring & Toppings
- 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
- ¼ cup hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
- Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the garlic bread pizza.
- Partially Bake Garlic Bread. If using frozen garlic bread, bake it according to package instructions until slightly toasted but not fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare 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.
- Spread Garlic Oil on Bread. Evenly spread the prepared garlic oil mixture over the top surface of the garlic bread loaf to infuse it with savory and spicy flavors.
- Add Ricotta Cheese Layer. Crumble the ricotta cheese evenly over the garlic bread, gently spreading it to form a creamy layer.
- Top with Mozzarella. Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer for melty, gooey texture.
- Bake Until Golden. Return the prepared garlic bread pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly, melted, and golden brown.
- Drizzle Hot Honey. Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the hot honey evenly over the top to add a sweet and spicy kick to every bite.
- Garnish and Serve. Let the pizza cool for a minute, then slice into pieces. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes and hot honey to control the spice level.

- This recipe works well as an appetizer or snack for 4 servings.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best results.
