Peach Prosciutto Pizza

The first time I tried peach prosciutto pizza, I couldn’t believe how good it was. The sweet peach with salty prosciutto was just perfect. It felt like a summer bite on a crispy crust.
The creamy cheese melts into the crust, and then the peach slices add that soft sweetness. The prosciutto brings a little salt that makes every bite balanced. And honestly, it looks so fancy even though it’s really simple.
I love making this when I want something quick but still special. It’s sweet, savory, and so good for sharing with friends.
So let’s put this together. Once you try it, you’ll see why this pizza is one of my favorites to make again and again.

- Add Nuts – Crushed walnuts or pine nuts add a delightful crunch.

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Pizza Dough
If using store-bought dough, let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to make it easier to stretch. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
2. Roll Out the Dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
3. Spread the Base
If using whipped feta, spread an even layer across the dough. If using fresh mozzarella, tear it into chunks and distribute them evenly.
4. Add the Toppings
- Arrange peach slices over the pizza.
- Tear prosciutto slices into smaller pieces and scatter over the top.
- Sprinkle additional fresh mozzarella if desired.
5. Bake the Pizza
Transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
6. Garnish and Serve
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Drizzle with rosemary olive oil and raspberry balsamic glaze.
- Sprinkle with fresh basil leaves for a fragrant finish.
- Slice and serve immediately.

How to Serve Peach Prosciutto Pizza
