In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix together the flour, yeast, salt and Italian spice blend. In a small bowl, whisk the honey into the water and, with the mixer running, pour the water-honey mixture into the dry ingredients. Scrape down the sides and mix on medium speed for 10 minutes until the dough sticks only to the bottom of the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour.
Cut the dough into two balls, wrap each loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours.
Preheat the oven to 500°; if you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it is preheating. Remove the dough balls from the refrigerator and stretch them into two 10-inch-long rectangles, about 1/2-inch thick. Rub each portion of dough with a tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread 2 teaspoons of garlic evenly over each portion of dough. Top each portion with 1 teaspoon fresh thyme and 3/4 cup mozzarella. Place the breads on the preheated stone, if using; otherwise, place on a large sheet pan and bake until the breads are crispy and the cheese browned, about 10 minutes.
Remove the garlic bread from the oven, slice down the center lengthwise and cut into 2-inch squares. Serve immediately.
