A round pizza cut into eight slices sits on a white marbled surface, with a light golden brown crust forming the base layer. The first topping layer is white melted cheese spread evenly over the pizza. On top are uneven slices of yellow-orange peach with red skin, adding a colorful contrast. Small green herb leaves are sprinkled across the pizza, alongside drizzles of a dark balsamic glaze that creates bold black streaks and dots. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 2 peaches, thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest, plus extra for topping
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, plus extra for topping
  • Balsamic glaze
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Coarse ground cornmeal

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425℉. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and honey. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
  2. Step 2: Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough begins to form, then transfer it to a floured countertop. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic, then shape it into a ball and place it back in the bowl. Cover with a dish towel and let it rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  3. Step 3: When the dough has about 15 minutes left to rise, prepare the peaches. Heat coconut oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced peaches, brown sugar, and orange zest, stirring frequently. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the peaches are caramelized and slightly softened. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Step 4: Lightly flour your countertop and roll the dough into a 1/4-inch thick circle or rectangle. Sprinkle coarse ground cornmeal generously on a large baking sheet or pizza stone to prevent sticking and add crispness. Transfer the rolled dough onto the prepared surface.
  5. Step 5: Tear the burrata cheese into pieces and evenly distribute over the dough. Arrange the caramelized peaches on top as well. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust turns golden brown.
  6. Step 6: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with extra orange zest, fresh thyme, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, and a pinch or two of flaky sea salt. Slice and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

  • For a crispier crust, use a pizza stone preheated in the oven and sprinkle cornmeal generously before placing the dough.
  • Swap fresh peaches with nectarines or plums for a different fruity twist.
  • Drizzle honey instead of balsamic glaze for a sweeter finish.
  • Add a handful of arugula after baking for a peppery contrast.

Storage

Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a low oven or toaster oven to keep the crust crisp and the cheese creamy. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

The image shows several slices of pizza on a white marbled surface with a thin golden crust as the base layer. The second layer is a creamy white cheese spread unevenly across the crust with patches of melted light brown cheese. The third layer includes slices of orange and reddish fruit or vegetable pieces, placed on top in irregular shapes. Dark balsamic glaze is drizzled in thin, wavy lines over the entire pizza as the fourth layer, adding black streaks. Fresh green herb leaves are sprinkled lightly across the pizza as the final layer.

FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?

Fresh peaches are best for caramelizing and texture, but if using frozen, thaw and drain them well before cooking to avoid excess liquid.

How do I make balsamic glaze at home?

Simmer balsamic vinegar gently on the stove until it reduces by half and becomes syrupy. Let it cool before drizzling.

Description

This Peach Burrata Balsamic Dessert Pizza combines a perfectly risen homemade dough topped with caramelized peaches, creamy burrata cheese, fresh thyme, and a tangy balsamic glaze for a decadent and unique dessert pizza experience.


Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Topping Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 2 peaches, thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest + extra for topping
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, plus extra for topping
  • balsamic glaze (to drizzle)
  • flaky sea salt (to taste)
  • coarse ground cornmeal (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and honey. Stir gently and let sit for 5 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Make Dough: Add all purpose flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until the ingredients begin to form a dough.
  3. Knead Dough: Transfer dough onto a lightly floured clean countertop. Knead by hand for about 5 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Form into a ball, place in a bowl, cover with a dish towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  4. Caramelize Peaches: While dough is rising and with about 15 minutes left, heat coconut oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add thinly sliced peaches, brown sugar, and orange zest. Cook and stir frequently for 4-5 minutes until peaches are caramelized and slightly softened. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Prepare Pizza Base: Lightly flour your countertop again and roll the dough into a roughly 1/4-inch thick large circle or rectangle. Sprinkle the baking sheet or pizza stone generously with coarse cornmeal to prevent sticking and add extra crispiness.
  6. Assemble Pizza: Place the rolled dough on the prepared baking surface. Tear the burrata cheese into small pieces and distribute evenly over the dough. Then, arrange the caramelized peaches evenly across the top.
  7. Bake: Bake in a preheated 425℉ oven for 20-25 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Allow pizza to cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with additional orange zest, fresh thyme, flaky sea salt, and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches for best caramelization and texture.
  • Allowing the dough to rise fully ensures a light and airy crust.
  • Coarse cornmeal on the baking surface prevents sticking and adds a subtle crunch.
  • Burrata cheese adds a creamy richness that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the peaches.
  • Adjust balsamic glaze amount based on your taste preference for sweetness and acidity.
