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
- 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.
- Make Dough: Add all purpose flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until the ingredients begin to form a dough.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated 425℉ oven for 20-25 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- 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.
