Recipe Yield: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
1 lb pizza dough, at room temp
3 oz fresh mozzarella, torn
½ cup whole milk ricotta
½ cup shredded fontina cheese
1 ripe peach, thinly sliced
4 slices prosciutto, torn
½ tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp cornmeal (for dusting)
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh basil, for garnish
Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 500°F (or as high as your oven safely goes). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
2. Prepare the dough: On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll the dough into a 10–12 inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza peel dusted with cornmeal.
3. Layer the cheeses: Brush olive oil over the dough. Spread ricotta in small dollops evenly across the surface. Sprinkle fontina, then add torn mozzarella.
4. Add peaches + prosciutto: Arrange peach slices evenly over the cheese, followed by prosciutto. Sprinkle thyme and red pepper flakes.
5. Bake the pizza: Transfer to oven (or stone) and bake for 10–13 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
6. Finish + serve: Remove from oven. Garnish with fresh basil and drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze. Slice and serve immediately.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Use Fresh, Ripe Peaches: Slightly firm but fragrant peaches will hold up well in the oven and offer just the right amount of sweetness.
- Bake at High Heat: For restaurant-style crispiness, use a preheated pizza stone and bake at the highest temp your oven allows.
- Balance the Flavors: Don’t skip the balsamic drizzle—it adds a tangy finish that ties the creamy cheese, salty prosciutto, and sweet peaches together.
