Ingredients
- Prepared pizza dough for one 12-in pizza
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 8 oz fresh thinly sliced mozzarella
- 2 ripe yet slightly firm peaches, pit removed and thinly sliced
- 8-10 small basil leaves, torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F. Roll pizza dough out to fit a 12-in pizza pan. Set aside for a moment.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat olive oil until shimmery then add garlic and saute 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add red pepper and basil and cook 1 additional minute.
- Remove olive oil mixture from heat and brush all over prepared pizza dough. Arrange mozzarella in a single layer on pizza dough and top with sliced peaches and basil leaves. Season pizza with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake pizza at 425F 25-30 minutes, rotating pan once until crust is a deep golden brown and cheese is browned and bubbly.
- While the pizza bakes, pour vinegar in a small saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until simmering. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer until balsamic is reduced in half and thickened into a thick glaze.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze over pizza and cut into slices. Serve immediately and enjoy!
