# Ingredients List:
→ Base
01 -
1 big loaf of garlic bread (grab one from the bakery or make your own)

02 -
Plenty of grated Parmesan to sprinkle on at the end
03 -
1/2 cup creamy ricotta
04 -
1 cup shredded mozzarella
→ Aromatics and Seasonings
05 -
A few twists of black pepper, taste and adjust
06 -
Add salt as needed
07 -
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
08 -
About 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
09 -
4 garlic cloves, chopped up
10 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Toppings
11 -
Some fresh basil leaves to throw on top if you want
12 -
Pour 1/4 cup hot honey over the finished bread
# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
Give the bread a minute to cool, slice it up, toss on some basil if you're feeling it and dust it with Parmesan before diving in.
02 -
Take it out of the oven, grab the hot honey and sweep it all over that melty cheese while it’s still hot.
03 -
Pop the loaded bread back into the oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Keep an eye out for the cheese—when it’s bubbly and browned on top, you’re good.
04 -
Scatter mozzarella over that ricotta blanket and make sure it’s covered edge to edge.
05 -
Drop dollops of ricotta onto the bread and spread it out or just leave some thick spots for creamy bites here and there.
06 -
Use a brush or spoon to slather the garlic oil all over the open face of the bread.
07 -
Mix the olive oil, chopped garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano, a pinch of salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until combined.
08 -
If you grabbed a frozen loaf, bake it just long enough to get some color—not all the way crispy—maybe 5 to 7 minutes. Pull it out when it’s lightly toasted.
09 -
Fire up your oven and set it to 400°F (200°C). Give it time to get nice and hot.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Let your pizza chill for a minute before cutting. This keeps all that melty cheese from sliding off.
