Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 ball of pizza dough (about 12–14 inches)
Toppings
- 2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
- 6–8 slices of prosciutto
- 1 to 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese or fresh mozzarella slices
- Optional: fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Optional: a drizzle of olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-14 inch circle. Transfer it onto a pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Add Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella or distribute fresh mozzarella slices over the dough, ensuring full coverage for a delicious cheesy base.
- Arrange Peaches: Layer the thinly sliced peaches evenly over the cheese, ensuring every slice is covered with a layer of fruit, which will caramelize gently in the oven.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is bubbly and just beginning to brown around the edges.
- Add Prosciutto: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately drape the prosciutto slices evenly over the hot pizza so they gently warm without crisping too much.
- Finish and Serve: Optionally drizzle with olive oil and scatter fresh basil leaves on top for extra flavor and color. Slice and serve while warm to enjoy the combination of sweet peaches and salty prosciutto over a crisp cheesy crust.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent sogginess on the pizza.
- Prosciutto is added after baking to keep its delicate texture and flavor.
- You can substitute mozzarella with burrata or goat cheese for a creamier texture.
- This pizza pairs beautifully with a light arugula salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little freshly ground black pepper or red pepper flakes before serving.
