Ingredients

For the Dough:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast

¾ cup warm water (110°F)

1 tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp olive oil

For the Toppings:

3 ripe peaches, sliced

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

½ cup goat cheese, crumbled (optional)

½ cup balsamic glaze

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Olive oil, for drizzling

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Make the Dough:

- In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center, then pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

- Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

First Rise:

- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Prepare the Peaches:

- While the dough is rising, wash and slice the peaches. Set them aside. If you like, toss them with a sprinkle of salt and pepper for added flavor.

Preheat the Oven:

- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.

Shape the Dough:

- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness (about 12 inches in diameter works well).

Add the Sauce and Cheese:

- Place the rolled-out dough onto a pizza peel or baking sheet. Drizzle a little olive oil over the dough and sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly.

- Arrange the peach slices artfully over the cheese. If using, scatter crumbled goat cheese on top.

Bake the Pizza:

- Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Finish with Balsamic Glaze:

- After baking, remove the pizza from the oven and immediately drizzle balsamic glaze over the top. Add fresh basil leaves for garnish.

Slice and Serve:

- Let cool for a couple of minutes, slice the pizza, and serve warm. Enjoy your unique peach-infused creation!
