Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced

1/2 cup prosciutto, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Fresh arugula for topping (optional)

Balsamic glaze for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, make sure to place it in the oven to heat up as well.

    Prepare the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface. Roll out the pizza dough to your preferred thickness, creating a round shape. Once rolled, transfer it to a pizza peel sprinkled with flour or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

      Season the Ricotta: In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with a pinch of sea salt and half of the chopped rosemary. Mix until smooth. Spread this seasoned ricotta mixture evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for a crust.

        Add the Cheeses: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the ricotta layer, ensuring every bite will be cheesy and delicious.

          Layer the Toppings: Carefully place the thinly sliced peaches across the cheese. Then, add the prosciutto, distributing it evenly for a perfect balance of flavors.

            Drizzle and Season: Combine the honey and olive oil in a small bowl, then drizzle this mixture across the pizza. Finish by sprinkling the remaining rosemary and a pinch of sea salt for added flavor.

              Bake the Pizza: If using a pizza stone, carefully slide the pizza onto the hot stone. If using a baking sheet, place it directly into the oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is bubbling deliciously.

                Cool and Garnish: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few moments. Optionally, add a handful of fresh arugula and drizzle with balsamic glaze right before slicing for an added burst of flavor and color.

                  Serve: Cut the pizza into slices and enjoy your warm Peachy Summer Delight Pizza immediately!
