# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The sauce hits this incredible sweet-savory-spicy trifecta that keeps everyone reaching for another slice
- It comes together in 30 minutes but tastes like something from a fancy wood-fired pizza place
02 -
- The sauce thickens quickly as it cools so work fast when brushing it onto the flatbreads
- Letting the sauce simmer just those few minutes makes all the difference between a watery glaze and a sticky coating that stays put
03 -
- Don't skip drizzling that extra honey at the end it creates this gorgeous sticky finish that makes it look restaurant-quality
- If your flatbreads are thin brush a little olive oil on the edges before baking so they crisp up instead of drying out
