Ingredients:

  • 2 Stonefire Artisan thin pizza crusts or Naan bread

  • 1/2 cup pesto sauce

  • 2 sweet peaches, thinly sliced

  • 2 tomatoes, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves

  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

  • Whipped lemon honey by Savannah Bee Company, for drizzling

Instructions:

  1. Preheat and Toast the Bread: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the pizza crusts or Naan bread directly on the oven rack and toast them for about 3-4 minutes, or until they develop light charred lines. Remove from the oven and set aside.

  2. Assemble the Pizza: Spread a generous layer of pesto sauce evenly over each toasted crust.

  3. Layer the Fresh Ingredients: Arrange the sliced sweet peaches and tomatoes over the pesto-covered crusts. Scatter the fresh spinach leaves over the peaches and tomatoes.

  4. Add the Bacon and Mozzarella: Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the pizza. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, covering the entire surface.

  5. Into the Oven: Place the assembled pizzas back into the preheated oven for about 3-4 minutes, or until the mozzarella cheese begins to melt and bubble.

  6. Garnish and Drizzle: Remove the pizzas from the oven and immediately garnish with fresh basil leaves. Drizzle the whipped lemon honey by Savannah Bee Company over the top for a delightful finishing touch.

  7. Serve Fresh and Flavorful: Slice the Peach and Pesto Pizza with Bacon into wedges and serve immediately. The combination of fresh ingredients and the slight melt of the mozzarella will create a delicious harmony of flavors and textures.
