Cook: 20 minutes
Total: 40 minutes
Ingredients
For the Dough (or use store-bought pizza dough)
1½ cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat)
¾ tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp instant yeast
½ cup warm water
1 tbsp olive oil
(or use ~250g store-bought pizza dough)
For the Toppings
2 tbsp BBQ sauce (choose a smoky or honey-style)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1–2 ripe peaches, sliced thin
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 burrata ball (or fresh mozzarella if unavailable)
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Optional Finishes
Balsamic glaze or hot honey, for drizzling
Crushed chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough
If using homemade dough:
Mix flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Add warm water and olive oil, then knead until soft and elastic (5–7 minutes).
Cover and let rise for 45–60 minutes, until doubled.
(Skip this step for ready-made dough.)
2. Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F).
If using a cast-iron or oven-safe skillet, lightly oil it.
3. Shape the Pizza
Press the dough evenly into the skillet, creating a slight rim around the edge.
Brush the base lightly with olive oil and a spoonful of BBQ sauce.
4. Assemble the Toppings
Layer mozzarella, onion slices, and peach slices evenly on top.
Season lightly with salt and pepper.
5. Cook the Pizza
Option 1 (Skillet + Oven):
Place the skillet on the stovetop for 2–3 minutes to crisp the base.
Then transfer to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
Option 2 (Fully Oven-Baked):
Bake directly for 15–18 minutes, until crust is golden brown.
6. Finish with Burrata & Garnish
Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
Tear burrata over the warm pizza.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze or hot honey and scatter fresh basil leaves.
Tips
Grill or pan-sear peach slices first for an extra smoky flavor.
Add prosciutto or arugula for a gourmet twist.
If you don’t have burrata, use a mix of fresh mozzarella and ricotta for creaminess.
️ Serving Ideas
Serve warm with a light arugula salad dressed in lemon and olive oil.
Pairs beautifully with sparkling water with mint and lime or a cold white wine if you serve it as a summer dinner.
