Arugula Pesto & Peach Pizza with Miyoko’s Pourable Mozzarella
This plant based pizza featuring Miyoko’s Pourable Mozzarella hot all the notes - delicious plant based mozzarella, sweet peaches, and spicy arugula.
Ingredients
For the pesto:
2 cups loosely packed fresh basil
½ serrano chili
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon unsalted pistachios
Kosher salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
2–4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
For the pizza:
Flour, for dusting your work surface
Pizza dough of your choice (enough for one 6–8” pizza)
½ cup Miyoko’s Pourable Mozzarella (feel free to use more or less if desired)
1 small red onion, sliced
1 yellow or white peach, pitted and sliced
½ serrano chili, thinly sliced
Calabrian chili oil, for drizzling
Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
For garnishing:
Baby arugula
Fresh basil
Lemon wedges
Chopped pistachios
Olive oil
Preparation
In a blender or food processor, combine all the pesto ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 475ºF. Place a pizza stone or nonstick sheet pan in the oven to preheat.
Lightly flour a pizza paddle (if you don’t have a pizza paddle, you can use a clean work surface). Add the pizza dough and gently stretch and shape it on the paddle into a circle that is 6–8 inches wide. Before adding any toppings, make sure that the bottom of the dough is floured so it easily slides off the paddle.
Spread a thick, even layer of the pesto over the dough, leaving a ¼-inch border around the edges. Pour over the Miyoko’s Pourable Mozzarella. Layer on the onion, peach slices, and serrano slices. Drizzle the pizza with the chili oil and extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the hot sheet pan. Bake until the edges are golden brown and puffed, about 15 minutes.
Remove the pizza from the oven and top with arugula, fresh basil, lemon juice, pistachios, and a drizzle more of olive oil. Cut into 4–6 slices and enjoy!
