Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pizza crust (or homemade dough)

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 tablespoon honey (plus extra for drizzling)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2-3 ripe peaches, thinly sliced

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Pinch of salt

Olive oil, for brushing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up for at least 30 minutes to ensure a crispy crust.

    Prepare the Ricotta Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture together until it’s smooth and well incorporated, ensuring that the flavors are evenly distributed.

      Assemble the Pizza: Roll out your pizza dough to your preferred thickness on a floured surface if making it from scratch. If using a pre-made crust, position it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly brush the top of the crust with olive oil to enhance flavor and promote browning.

        Spread the Ricotta Mixture: Spread the ricotta blend evenly over the pizza crust, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges for a lovely crust.

          Add Cheese and Fruit: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer. Next, beautifully arrange the thin slices of peach across the top. Finally, crumble the goat cheese over the peaches for a creamy finishing touch.

            Bake the Pizza: Transfer the assembled pizza into the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone if using). Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns a golden brown color and the cheese melts and bubbles enticingly.

              Finishing Touches: After removing the pizza from the oven, generously drizzle additional honey and balsamic glaze on top. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of color and flavor.

                Slice and Serve: Allow the pizza to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing it into wedges. Serve immediately and savor the delightful combination of sweet and savory summer flavors!
