Introduction

Enjoy a delightful combination of sweet grilled peaches and savory vegan pesto on a crispy flatbread pizza. This recipe is perfect for a light summer meal or a unique appetizer to impress your guests.

The image shows a flatbread pizza cut into five slices, placed on crinkled parchment paper over a white marbled surface. The flatbread base is golden brown with slightly charred edges. The first layer is a spread of green pesto sauce with a coarse texture, topped with a thin layer of grated cheese melting into the sauce. On top, there are roasted peach slices that are golden and caramelized with a glossy texture, and small roasted cherry tomatoes in red and yellow colors, some slightly wrinkled with a roasted shine. Fresh basil leaves are scattered across, adding bright green highlights. A spoon with green pesto and a rustic knife with a wooden handle lie near the flatbread. In the background, there is a clear glass bowl with green pesto and a small white bowl with light yellow oil, all set against the white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 tsp instant yeast
1 cup (240 mL) warm water
1 tsp maple syrup
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp dairy free yogurt
3 1/4 cups (360 g) bread flour
1/2 tsp sea salt
3 large ripe peaches
1 batch vegan pesto
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 cup vegan mozzarella or store-bought vegan cheese

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine warm water, instant yeast, and maple syrup. Let it activate for 5 minutes until foamy.
Step 2: Add olive oil and dairy free yogurt to the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Then add bread flour and sea salt. Knead with clean hands until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 3: Cover the dough and place it in a warm area (around 85°F) to rise until doubled in size, about 40-60 minutes.
Step 4: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil and sea salt, then roast for 15-20 minutes until burst and blistered. Set aside.
Step 5: Slice peaches into ½-inch thick slices. Heat a grill plate with olive oil over medium-high heat. Grill peaches 3-5 minutes per side until caramelized with grill marks. Remove and set aside.
Step 6: Once the dough has risen, divide into 4-6 even balls on a lightly floured surface. Stretch each into a 4-8 inch uneven circle.
Step 7: Heat the grill plate and lightly oil if needed. Grill each flatbread for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden with grill marks, then flip and cook for 1 more minute. Remove and repeat.
Step 8: Spread about 1 tablespoon of vegan pesto on each grilled flatbread. Top with roasted cherry tomatoes, vegan cheese, and grilled peach slices.
Step 9: Place assembled flatbreads on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 10 minutes to melt cheese and warm toppings, or cook briefly on the grill if preferred.
Step 10: Remove from oven, slice, and serve warm. Enjoy your grilled peach and pesto flatbread pizza!

Tips & Variations

Use store-bought flatbreads for a quicker version; simply grill them before adding toppings.
Swap peaches for nectarines if peaches aren’t in season.
Add fresh basil leaves after baking for extra aroma and flavor.
Try adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze on top before serving for a sweet tang.

Storage

Store leftover flatbread pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to retain crispness, or heat gently on a grill pan.
