# Expert Insights:

01 -
  • The sauce hits that impossible perfect balance between fiery and comforting, like a warm hug that also slaps you awake
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes but tastes like you spent forever planning it
02 -
  • The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools, so don't overreduce it or it'll become impossible to drizzle
  • Letting the flatbread sit for even 2 minutes after baking makes it easier to slice cleanly
03 -
  • Don't be shy with the sauce, the flatbread absorbs some as it bakes and you want every bite to have that punchy flavor
  • If using fresh jalapeños, taste them first for heat level since some are shockingly mild while others are absolute fire
