Sweet and Savory Peach Flatbread – Kaiser Thrive
Clean Eating doesn’t mean Pizza is off the menu. It means get creative, especially in warm months when delicious peaches are available to make this “pizza like” Sweet and Savory Peach Flatbread. This dish was created by Anna Buss for Kaiser Permanente. Anna is a chef for the Pacific Coast Farmers Market Association and shares and creates recipes for Kaiser Food for Health. For this recipe, she chose Freestone Peaches (the pits are easy to break free and the fruit slices easily). She also recommends buying your fruit from a Farmers Market because unlike a commercial grocer, the fruit is allowed to mature on the tree before harvesting, which means it will have a higher sugar content, more flavor, and will stay firm enough to slice.

Pizza Dough is topped with savory ingredients, cheese and fresh peaches for a delicious take on pizza.
Ingredients
- 2 medium tomatoes - grated and strained (see directions)
- ½ clove garlic - minced
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil - plus more for drizzling
- ½ small red onion - sliced into rings (using a mandolin or sharp chef’s knife)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar - the thicker and sweeter, the better (but avoiding sugar-added glazes)
- 6 ounces fresh mozzarella - torn or cut into slices
- 1 whole peach - sliced into thin crescents (using a mandolin or sharp chef’s knife)
- 2 sprigs fresh basil - leaves torn
- 1 whole pizza dough - Use Kaiser's recipe linked here, or, purchase pre-made pizza dough from the store or your favorite pizza parlor, or use a premade flatbread, like lavosh dough
Instructions
- If you are using fresh dough, partially bake the pizza dough. Place a 12” x 14” piece of flattened dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the onion rings and balsamic vinegar and set aside.
- Slice tomatoes in half and grate flesh side with large holes of a cheese grater. Strain extra liquid through a sieve.
- Add a teaspoon of olive oil, minced garlic, and dash of salt to the tomato pulp. Mix ingredients together and set aside.
- Spread tomato pulp over the partially baked dough (reserve extra tomato pulp for additional pizzas). Layer on the fresh mozzarella. Then arrange the vinegar-soaked onion rings over the cheese. Finish by decorating the pizza with peach crescents.
- Pizzas may bake in as little as 8 minutes on a stone placed at the bottom of an oven or 12 to 14 minutes if baked on a pizza pan at the top of an oven. As a visual, the cheese should brown a little and the crust should be golden.
- Remove from oven and garnish with fresh basil, coarse sea salt and pepper, and a drizzle of fresh extra virgin olive oil.

We tried this with one rectangular slice of Lavosh Flatbread from Trader Joe's -- worked beautifully.
