Ingredients
  

For the Dough:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast

¾ cup warm water (approximately 110°F)

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Toppings:

3 ripe peaches, thinly sliced

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup crumbled goat cheese (optional)

½ cup balsamic glaze

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Olive oil for drizzling

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Make the Dough:

    - In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy—a sign that the yeast is active.

      - In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center, then pour in the yeast mixture and the olive oil.

        - Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for approximately 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

          First Rise:

            - Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

              Prepare the Peaches:

                - While the dough is rising, wash the peaches thoroughly and slice them thinly. If desired, toss the peach slices with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.

                  Preheat the Oven:

                    - Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.

                      Shape the Dough:

                        - Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release air bubbles. Roll it out on a floured surface to achieve your preferred thickness, aiming for about a 12-inch diameter.

                          Add the Sauce and Cheese:

                            - Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or an oiled baking sheet. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the surface. Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese across the dough.

                              - Artfully arrange the sliced peaches on top of the cheese. If you chose to use goat cheese, sprinkle it over the peaches as well.

                                Bake the Pizza:

                                  - Carefully place the pizza in the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes. Cook until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is melty and bubbly.

                                    Finish with Balsamic Glaze:

                                      - Upon removing the pizza from the oven, immediately drizzle balsamic glaze over the warm pizza. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a colorful touch.

                                        Slice and Serve:

                                          - Allow the pizza to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing it into wedges. Serve warm and enjoy this delightful peach-infused creation with friends and family!
