Ingredients

  • 1 ball of pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup of basil pesto
  • 1 - 2 small peaches, thinly sliced
  • 4oz of burrata or mozzarella
  • a big handful of fresh basil, chopped
  • balsamic glaze to drizzle
  • salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and set aside.
  3. Roll out pizza dough to desired shape. I prefer a crust about 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Place the rolled dough on the sheet tray. Spread the pesto out into an even layer on the crust. Add the sliced peaches and cheese on top.
  5. Place the tray into the oven and bake for about 15 - 20 minutes until the crust is lightly golden and the cheese has melted. Broil for additional 3 - 5 minutes for darker crust and charred top.
  6. Remove pizza from oven and let cool slightly.
  7. Top pizza with chopped basil, balsamic glaze, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
  8. Slice and enjoy!
