Ingredients
For the Flatbread
1 large flatbread or naan (store-bought or homemade)
2 ripe peaches, halved and sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ball fresh burrata cheese (200–250g)
1–2 tablespoons hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
½ teaspoon black lava salt (to taste)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or basil (optional)

Optional Add-Ons
Arugula for freshness

Instructions
1. Preheat
Heat oven to 220°C (425°F).
If using a pizza stone, preheat it in the oven.
2. Char the Peaches
Brush peach slices lightly with olive oil.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook peaches for 2–3 minutes per side until grill marks appear and sugars caramelize.
Remove and set aside.
(Alternative: roast peaches in oven for 8–10 minutes.)
3. Prepare Flatbread Base
Place flatbread on a baking sheet.
Brush lightly with olive oil.
Bake for 5–7 minutes until slightly crisp.
4. Assemble
Arrange charred peach slices over the warm flatbread.
Tear burrata and place evenly across the top.
5. Finish & Serve
Drizzle with hot honey.
Sprinkle black lava salt.
Add herbs, pepper, or optional toppings.
Slice and serve immediately.
How to Make Hot Honey (Optional)
If you don’t have hot honey:
Warm ¼ cup honey gently.
Stir in ½–1 teaspoon chili flakes.
Let infuse 5 minutes, then strain if desired.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use mozzarella instead of burrata?
Yes. Fresh mozzarella works well, but burrata gives a richer, creamier texture.
What are the best peaches to use?
Ripe but firm peaches work best — they hold shape when grilled.
What is black lava salt?
A mineral-rich sea salt blended with activated charcoal. It adds crunch and mild saltiness (regular flaky salt works if unavailable).
Can I make this ahead of time?
You can char peaches and prep ingredients in advance, but assemble just before serving for best texture.
How do I make it vegetarian-friendly?
The recipe is already vegetarian — just ensure your flatbread contains no animal-based ingredients.
