Instructions
Prep dough
Pour the flour, salt, and sugar sugar into a big bowl. You can prepare dough by hand or in a stand mixer. Use a paddle attachment or spoon to mix together.
Pour in yeast and mix again.
Add the olive oil and water. Begin to gently mix
Once the dough comes together switch to a dough hook or use clean hands and a clean, floured surface begin to knead the dough. Knead the dough for about 5 to 10 minutes until it comes together.
Form the dough into a ball. Place into an oiled bowl. Cover with a dish towel and set it aside for at least an hour or until it has doubled in size. I like to place mine in a turned off and shut oven.
Grill Peaches
Either warm a grill up to a low temperature around 200°F (93°C).
Cut the peaches into wedges, about 8ths. The wedges should be thicker.
Brush with oil.
Once grill is warm add the peaches.
Grill about 5 minutes per side or until caramelization marks appear.
When done, place in a bowl.
Make Pesto
Into a blender all the ingredients and blend until smooth. Add any seasonings to taste.
Assemble Pizza
If baking in an oven preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a pizza oven put it on a high setting,
Spread dough out onto a well floured surface,
Spread pesto, add peaches and vegan cheese.
Bake for 15 minutes or until crush is brown and cheese is melty,
Garnish with fresh basil, edible flowers, and microgreens.

Notes
You can grill the peaches on a smaller grill if you prefer, like a George Foreman. You can also sauté them in a pan.
If you have a nut allergy you can omit pine nuts and swap for sunflower seeds.
