Grilled Peach and Prosciutto Pizza
Grilled Peach and Prosciutto Pizza pairs smoky grilled pizza dough with melted fresh mozzarella, topped with thin peach slices and delicate prosciutto. The dough is first grilled to develop charred grill marks and a slightly crispy crust, then layered with garlic, cheese, and finally fresh fruit and salty meat. This combination balances sweet, savory, and smoky flavors with a tender yet crisp texture that makes for an unusual but appealing pizza option.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough store bought
- extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
- 3 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1-2 cups fresh mozzarella
- 1 peach cut into super thin wedges
- 12 prosciutto cut in half, thin slices
- ⅓ cup basil fresh
- balsamic vinegar optional, reduced; to garnish
Instructions
- Prepare a gas or charcoal grill to high heat.
- Shape the dough into 2 medium pizzas while on a clean floured surface. Let the dough sit for 5 minutes and then re-form to make sure it's as big as you'd like. Place the pizza dough on a lightly floured rimless baking sheet, or pizza peel.
- Brush one side of the dough with olive oil. Transfer the dough, olive oil side down, to the grill. Grill the dough for about 2 minutes with the lid closed. Drizzle the top side with olive oil. Using a pair of tongs flip the dough over onto the other side and cook for about 2 minutes more. The dough should be golden brown with grill marks on both sides.
- Once the dough is cooked, remove it from the grill and place it back onto the baking sheet or pizza peel.
- Brush more olive oil over the pizza and sprinkle with garlic. Arrange the mozzarella on top and place back onto the grill until the cheese has melted.
- Using tongs or a peel, remove the pizza from the grill and top with sliced peaches, prosciutto, and basil. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper as needed. Drizzle with reduced balsamic if desired. Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- Homemade pizza dough can improve flavor and texture but store-bought dough is acceptable for convenience.
- Use thinly sliced peaches for even coverage and to blend well with prosciutto on top.
- Drizzling with balsamic vinegar reduction is optional but adds a pleasant acidity.
