Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 475°F and roll out 1 lb store-bought pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch oval. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Brush the dough evenly with 2 tbsp olive oil. Arrange 2 thinly sliced medium ripe peaches over the dough, leaving a small border around edges.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp red chili flakes, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper evenly over the peaches. Drizzle 1 tbsp honey lightly over the top.
  4. Step 4: Bake the flatbread in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and tear 8 oz burrata cheese into pieces, distributing it over the hot flatbread so it slightly melts.
  6. Step 6: Scatter 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves on top and drizzle remaining 1 tbsp olive oil before slicing and serving this sweet and spicy summer appetizer.
