Ingredients
  

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

2 cups fresh peaches, sliced (approximately 3 medium peaches)

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup crumbled goat cheese

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, make sure to place it in the oven so it can heat up properly along with the oven.

    Prepare the Peach Topping: In a mixing bowl, add the sliced peaches. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle in the thyme, along with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Gently toss the peach slices to ensure they are well-coated with the seasoning.

      Assemble the Pizza: On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza crust to your desired thickness—ideally around ¼ inch thick for a crispy base. Carefully transfer the rolled crust onto a pizza peel or a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper for easy handling.

        Spread the Ricotta: Using a spatula, evenly spread the ricotta cheese over the surface of the pizza crust, leaving about a ½-inch border for the crust.

          Add the Cheese and Peaches: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese uniformly on top of the ricotta layer. Next, arrange the seasoned peach slices over the mozzarella in a visually pleasing pattern. Finally, crumble the goat cheese evenly across the top.

            Drizzle with Honey: Generously drizzle honey over the entire pizza, adding a touch of sweetness that beautifully complements the peaches.

              Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place it in the oven if you’re using a baking sheet. Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheeses are bubbling and slightly browned.

                Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, allow the pizza to cool for about 5 minutes to settle. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an aromatic touch. Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious and vibrant summer pizza!
