Peach & Prosciutto Pizza
With Hot Honey
The perfect balance of salt, sweet, and heat!
INGREDIENTS
Pizza
1 ball store-bought pizza dough (12–16 oz), room temp
1–2 ripe peaches
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup smoked gouda, shredded or thinly sliced
4–6 fresh basil leaves
3–5 slices prosciutto (optional)
1 garlic clove
A few sprigs fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried)
All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Olive oil
Hot Honey
¼ cup honey
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
½–1 tsp red chili flakes (adjust to heat preference)
INSTRUCTIONS
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, chili flakes, and apple cider vinegar. Warm gently for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat and let steep while you prep the pizza.
Preheat the oven according to your dough’s instructions (typically 475°F–500°F). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough into a 10–12 inch circle or oval. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or floured pizza peel.
Prep your toppings: finely mince the garlic, slice peaches into ¼-inch wedges, and strip thyme leaves from their stems if using fresh.
Lightly brush olive oil across the entire surface of the dough.
Sprinkle the minced garlic and thyme evenly over the oiled dough.
Layer 1 cup mozzarella and 1 cup gouda over the garlic and thyme. Add peach slices and 3–5 slices of prosciutto.
Bake for 10–14 minutes or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling. If using a pizza stone, start checking at 8–10 minutes.
Remove pizza from the oven and top with fresh basil. Drizzle hot honey generously using a spoon or honey dipper. Slice, serve immediately, and enjoy!
