Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)

2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced thinly

1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 cup ricotta cheese

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (plus extra for garnish)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Fresh arugula (for topping after baking)

Balsamic glaze (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.

    Prepare the Crust: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

      Assemble the Pizza: Brush the pizza crust lightly with olive oil. Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the pizza base, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

        Add Peaches: Arrange the peach slices artfully on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves and sea salt over the peaches for added flavor.

          Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza to your preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone). Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

            Drizzle with Honey: Once the pizza is out of the oven, immediately drizzle the honey over the warm pizza. This will enhance the flavors of the peaches and cheese.

              Garnish: Top the pizza with fresh arugula for added crunch and flavor.

                Add Balsamic Glaze: For a touch of tang and sweetness, drizzle balsamic glaze over the pizza before serving.

                  Slice and Serve: Allow the pizza to cool for a minute, then slice it into wedges and serve warm.
