  7. If using, tear the prosciutto into pieces and distribute it around the peaches.
  8. Transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese bubbles.

  10. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the pizza, add crumbled goat cheese if using, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
  11. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

Choose peaches that yield slightly to pressure but aren't mushy. Avoid adding balsamic glaze before baking to prevent bitterness.
