Ingredients
  

Homemade Pizza Dough

  • 3 cups (360g) all purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons/7g) of instant yeast
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons (22ml) olive oil
  • 1 cup (240ml) warm water

Grilled Peaches

  • Two large peaches about 18 ounces/500g cut into wedges
  • 1 ½ tablespoons 22ml olive oil

Vegan Pesto

  • 10-12 leaves fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon (8g) pine nuts
  • 1 tablespoon (5g) nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) vegan parmesan
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45ml) water
  • Salt and red pepper to taste

Topping & Garnish

  • 6 ounces (168g) vegan mozzarella shreds or small pieces
  • Microgreens
  • Fresh basil
  • Edible flowers

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.
  • Vegan mozzarella is from Miyokos
  • Vegan parmesan is from Go Veggie
