Peach Ricotta Pizza with Spicy Microgreens.
Our pizza is wearing stripes!
Only the most delicious, high-end, snobby strips for our pizza with peaches.
Look at these beauties!
It’s a one-in-a-million chance to find really great, ripe organic peaches around here. I lucked out and found a few. But you know what? Your peaches don’t have to be perfectly ripe since they get roasted and caramely and covered in burrata (!!!!) on top of that dough.
It’s a win-win sitch.
You might remember that a few weeks ago I mentioned to Eddie that I wanted to make a peach ricotta pizza and he declared it one of the worst ideas in the universe.
Which meant that I really wanted to make the pizza then. So badly.
So I did!
And guess what. He ate a slice. He ate it.
And he even LIKED it.
He liked it, but he wouldn’t like this to be dinner. As an appetizer or snack, this pizza is great for him. You know, before his REAL pizza. Loaded with 546 kinds of meat and cheese and absolutely zero peach to be found anywhere.
Well, except maybe his mojito.
Sidebar: let’s make it a regulation of sorts that all pizza needs a hefty dose of burrata.
I KNOW. It’s been so pizza-heavy around here. After this I’ll give you a big old break. (for like five minutes.)
Funny enough, I remembered that this actually wasn’t the first time I was weird and put peaches on pizza!
A few years ago I made summer pizza. And it must be a thing – not only do peaches taste so much like summer, but peaches on pizza make your pizza taste exactly like summer. I dig it.
Can we talk about the spicy microgreens? You know how I get on a kick with something and then… never let it go? At least never let it go for around three-ish months?
That’s these. I found the microgreens at my local grocery store and I’m now obsessed. Any microgreens will do – they add a lovely little burst of color and some texture to the pizza – and I like that I replaced my usual go-to arugula with them.
The pizza is super cheesy (in a good way, duh), a tad sweet with a little tang from the balsamic glaze and sprinkled with a greens! So hello, it’s totally good for you. It’s gotta happen.
Peach Ricotta Pizza with Spicy Microgreens
Ingredients
dough
- 1 1/8 cups warm water
- 3 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
pizza
- 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 to 4 peaches, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 large ball of burrata cheese
- 1 cup spicy microgreens, or any microgreens you can find!
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine water, yeast, honey and olive oil. Mix with a spoon, then let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add in 2 1/2 cups flour and salt, stirring with a spoon until the dough comes together but is still sticky. Using your hands, form the dough into a ball and work in the additional 1/2 cup flour, kneading it on a floured surface for a few minutes. Rub the same bowl with olive oil then place the dough inside, turning to coat. Cover with a towel and place in a warm place to rise for about 1-1 1/2 hours.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and place it back on the floured surface. Using a rolling pin or your hands, form it into your desired shape (sometimes I use baking sheets and do rectangles or free form pizzas – this specific dough will yield one pizza large enough to feed about 3-4 people) and place on a baking sheet or pizza peel. Place the towel back over the dough and let sit in the warm place for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the ricotta on a paper towel. Press the top of it with another paper towel to release some of the water.
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. (If I use my pizza stone, I heat my oven to 475 degrees and bake for 15 minutes. If you’re just using a baking sheet, follow the directions below for baking and set to 425 degrees.)
- Brush the pizza dough edges with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Sprinkle the garlic cloves on the dough. Spread the ricotta on the dough evenly – so just a bit covers the dough leaving a 1-inch outer rim. Place the peach slices on the pizza. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Cover with the fresh cilantro, basil and rosemary, Carefully pull apart the burrata ball and place it in the center, pulling pieces out towards the edges.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes (or around 15 to 20 minutes if using the pizza stone) until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Remove and top with the spicy microgreens. Slice and serve immediately.

We make a lot of pizzas in our wood fired oven and I am always looking for new ideas. This looks so fresh with amazing flavours! Great photos, too!
Hi Jessica,
Thanks for this recipe!! I’m head over heels for peaches & cheese, so I’m totally in love with this peachy & cheesy pizza idea!!! So gotta try it. Don’t know what the hubs will think though. Hehehe~ :P
Anyway, pinning this right now!!! :D
Amy
thank you so much amy!
This is beautiful and just as delicious. I love peaches.
In Mass. we have been hit hard ,there may not be any peaches this year.
The trees didn’t bloom. I think I can get out of state peaches,hopefully.
I would not even attempt canned peaches for this pizza.
ahhh what a bummer!
Yay, I’m so glad you made it for real because I totally remember you mentioing it! Ha, it souns like Eddie has the same feelings towards fruity pizza as the dudes in my life, so if he approved that says a lot. This pizza definitely DOES need to happen. p.s. burrata being mandatory is a law I’d be okay with!
it would be the BEST law.
I totally don’t want a pizza break! Your pizza recipes are the best!
thanks grace. xoxoxo
Burrata is so yum and this combo looks to die for! Want it right now. Yes, for breakfast haha

thanks julia!
That just seems like a summer dish, I’m super excited to try it now!
My husband would probably act the same way- “I don’t know about peaches on pizza.” Is what he said when I asked him if he would eat it! Lol!
This seems like a ‘lunch’ meal to me. I dig it!
And keep the pizza train rolling, because everyone loves pizza! :P
definitely a good lunch!
Sometimes I think Eddie is just crazy! I put nectarines on my avocado toast the other day and Pat looked at me like I was bonkers but it was SO good. Like way better than I was anticipating. He also doesn’t like avocados and thinks they “taste like mush” but loves guac. So it’s really quite hard to take anything he says too seriously.
HE IS!
Spicy microgreens?! What a great idea! And not just for this pizza, but for salads, sandwiches and avocado toast, too! :)
i am completely obsessed.
i have such a hard time finding ripe, sweet, flavorful peaches, so i’m glad that even lackluster ones do well on this pizza! my grandpa gave me some amazing apricots from his tree, so i might use those to make this pizza (if i can hold off from eating all of them!).
mmmm love that idea!
I said it when you first brought it up and I’ll say it again: peaches and ricotta on pizza sounds like a no brainer to me! And it turns out, it is! This is gorgeous and is making my mouth water BIG TIME.
right?! thanks molly!

“This summer is the best”………….and it’s not even summer yet!!!!!! So glad you’re loving summer with this beautiful little boy. He is still the cutest little guy I think I’ve ever seen!!!!

sounds like a dream night.
I want all of this and because my husband despises ricotta it might just come true. Look at those peaches. How did you not just eat them all?
seriously! it was tough. so good.
I Leave my office job and now I am getting paid 96 Dollars hourly. How? I work-over internet! My old work was making me miserable, so I was to try-something different. 2 years after…I can say my life is changed completely for the better! Check it out what i do…
