Homemade Peach Pizza

To achieve that perfect crispy crust, preheating your oven is crucial. Set your oven to 475°F (245°C) at least 30 minutes before you plan to bake your pizza. This high temperature ensures that the pizza cooks evenly and quickly, resulting in a delightful golden crust that’s not only visually appealing but also satisfying to bite into. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven as it preheats to enhance the crispiness of the crust.

Ingredients

1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)

2 ripe peaches, sliced thinly

1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh arugula for topping (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a nice, crispy crust.

Prepare the Pizza Base: If using a homemade crust, roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Brush the surface lightly with olive oil.

Layer the Cheese: Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the crust, leaving a small border at the edges. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese on top of the mozzarella for a creamy texture.

Add the Peaches: Distribute the sliced peaches evenly over the cheese layer. Overlapping them slightly will not only look beautiful but also allow the flavors to meld during cooking.

Season: Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top, then sprinkle with fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper for added flavor.

Bake the Pizza: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Final Touches: Once out of the oven, let the pizza cool for a minute. Drizzle the balsamic glaze generously over the top to create a sweet and tangy finish.

Serve: If desired, add a handful of fresh arugula on top for a peppery bite and extra freshness. Slice and serve hot!
