Ingredients

Scale

Flatbread Base

  • 1 pre-made flatbread (about 810 inches in diameter)

Toppings

  • 1 large ripe peach, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or fresh burrata, as preferred

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the flatbread quickly.
  2. Prepare Flatbread: Place the flatbread on a baking sheet or pizza stone to get a crispy base when baked.
  3. Add Toppings: Evenly distribute the shredded cheese over the flatbread. Then, layer thin peach slices on top of the cheese. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves over the peaches to infuse fresh herbal notes.
  4. Bake: Place the flatbread in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the flatbread edges are golden and crisp.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Slice and enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture combination.

Notes

  • For a more savory twist, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving.
  • Use burrata cheese for a creamier texture instead of shredded mozzarella.
  • You can substitute peaches with nectarines or apricots during other seasons.
  • To make it gluten-free, use a gluten-free flatbread base.
