Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 – 12″ HRI Classic Cheese Pizza

Toppings

  • 6–7 slices of prosciutto, halved
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 large peach, sliced
  • 1 ½ cups arugula
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 450˚F (232˚C) and allow it to reach temperature fully before baking to ensure a perfectly crispy crust.
  2. Prepare Pizza Base: Remove the 12-inch HRI Classic Cheese Pizza from all packaging, making sure it’s ready to be topped.
  3. Add Ricotta Cheese: Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of ricotta cheese evenly across the pizza surface to create creamy dollops as a base for toppings.
  4. Layer Prosciutto and Peaches: Place the halved prosciutto slices and fresh peach slices evenly over the pizza on top of the ricotta for a balanced savory and sweet flavor.
  5. Bake Pizza: Place the pizza directly on the oven rack (not on a baking sheet) and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese bubbles lightly.
  6. Add Fresh Toppings: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and immediately top with fresh arugula, then drizzle honey evenly over the top, and sprinkle with chopped fresh thyme to add fragrant, fresh notes.
  7. Serve: Cut the pizza into squares and serve warm to enjoy the perfect contrast of flavors and textures.

Notes

  • For best results, use ripe but firm peaches to avoid excess moisture making the pizza soggy.
  • Placing pizza directly on the oven rack ensures a crispier crust.
  • Fresh arugula and honey added after baking preserve their bright flavors and texture.
  • Feel free to substitute fresh thyme with basil for a different herbal aroma.
  • Adjust honey quantity to taste for sweetness.
