Homemade Peach and Prosciutto Pizza
If there were an ultimate summer pizza, I’d have to say this should definitely be it! I couldn’t believe how amazingly delicious this fresh peach pizza was! I’m thinking this should now be added to my menu on a weekly basis. Just imagine a soft pizza crust topped with garlic oil and layered with delicately thin slices of irresistible Italian prosciutto. Then cover that with three cheeses (this time around, ricotta, fresh mozzarella and asiago, all of which perfectly complement peaches) and top it with plenty of fresh peach slices. Then take that and bake it in a blazing hot oven to golden perfection, which will give you that crave worthy deliciously melted cheese and sweet and tender roasted peaches. And now, finish that all off with a generous amount of fresh basil ribbons and a honey balsamic reduction to die for. Yes, it’s a pizza you’re not going to forget. This peach and prosciutto pizza is pizza done right! Pizza is so much more than just tomato sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni. It’s a world of endless possibilities. So, step outside of the comfort zone and make something a little different this time around. You won’t regret it!
Peach and Prosciutto Pizza Ingredients
For the homemade pizza, you’ll need:
Pizza dough Olive oil Garlic Salt and pepper Prosciutto Mozzarella Asiago Ricotta Fresh peaches Fresh basil
And for the honey-balsamic reduction, you’ll need:
Honey Balsamic vinegar
How to Make Peach and Prosciutto Pizza
Preheat oven with pizza stone inside. Make balsamic reduction. Stretch pizza dough over lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Brush with olive oil and minced garlic.
Season with salt and pepper, then lay prosciutto onto crust.
Dollop ricotta onto pizza, then add the rest of the cheese and sliced peaches.
Bake on preheated pizza peel until the crust is golden brown.
Sprinkle pizza with fresh basil and balsamic reduction.
How to Make Balsamic Reduction
Pour balsamic vinegar and honey into a large, deep skillet. Allow the mixture to simmer for around 15 minutes, or until the vinegar has reduced.
Can I Use Canned Peaches on This Pizza?
No, canned peaches contain too much liquid. You’ll need to use fresh peaches for this prosciutto pizza recipe.
Can I Find Balsamic Reduction at the Store?
Yes, if you don’t want to make homemade balsamic reduction, you should be able to find it at your local grocery store (likely in the same aisle as the vinegars).
Tips for the Best Homemade Pizza
Use a silicone spatular to stir the balsamic reduction. You’ll be able to scrape down the sides of the skillet more easily that way. You want to slice the peaches fairly thin for this recipe, otherwise they won’t cook enough in the oven. There’s no need to peel the peaches before adding them to the pizza.
