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:
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.
Assemble the Pizza: Spread a generous layer of pesto sauce evenly over each toasted crust.
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.
Add the Bacon and Mozzarella: Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the pizza. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, covering the entire surface.
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.
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.
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.
