The FRESH summer dinner my family can’t get enough of:

Of course, I love regular pizza (my favorite vegan pizza to EXIST is this recipe), but who wouldn’t want a personal-sized grilled summer flatbread pizza all to themselves?!

Truthfully, this recipe is restaurant worthy. Juicy grilled peaches that are perfectly caramelized a top melty (vegan) cheese, homemade pesto, roasted cherry tomatoes, and a homemade, almost focaccia-like flatbread!?

I mean. It honestly doesn’t get better. The EPITOME of summertime meal right here!! Okay, along with my bruschetta pasta (which I keep making for date night for Jared and I- YUM!).

I’ve made this flatbread pizza recipe now 4 times for my family, and it’s only mid-July. And the best part is that you don’t even need a grill if you don’t have one! Just a grill plate will do!

Why homemade flatbread is the best for flatbread pizza:

You can, of course, use your store-bought flatbread for a super quick and easy dinner recipe during the summer.

But sometimes the flatbread can be dry from the store, and the homemade has almost a focaccia like texture (now a grilled peach focaccia pizza would be SOMETHING!).

It’s a bit more work to make homemade flatbread (15 minutes hands on, and 1 hour resting), but let me tell you, it’s so worth it. Use some of that time you take to prep the peaches and pesto to allow your dough to rest, and before you know it, you’re ready to grill!

Overview: How to assemble grilled peach & pesto flatbread pizzas:

For the full written instructions and ingredient measurements, see the bottom of this post in the recipe card. You can also hit the “jump to recipe” button at the top of this post! Here, we’ll go over a brief overview of the steps, along with providing visuals for a better understanding of the recipe.

pesto being made
The flatbread dough comes together so quickly. But if you go the store-bought route, we’ll just start with the pesto, which can be made in a blender!
roasted cherry tomatoes
The cherry tomatoes are phenomenal too roasted. I personally prefer roasting them to placing them raw on the flatbread to cook in the oven because they get juicier!
grilling the peaches
The key to using the grill plate is ensuring that your grill plate is hot enough and well-oiled. That helps caramelize the sugars!
ingredients for assembling the flatbread pizzas
Once all components are prepped, we’ll assemble our flatbread pizzas and either bake or continue cooking on the grill!
assembling the flatbread pizzas
I do pesto, tomatoes, cheese, peaches, and then bake!
finished flatbread pizzas
Once baked, you’ll slice and top with fresh black pepper, sea salt, some red pepper flakes and enjoy!

Use a grill pan OR a grill:

I personally have used both, and either works here. The dough and the peaches grill beautifully on an actual grill and on a grill plate, like one by Caraway.

The nice part about the grill is that you don’t need to bake the flatbread afterwards- you can just put all of your toppings on and cover the grill to let everything finish cooking.

If you don’t have either, don’t worry- you can use a large skillet or cast iron skillet to cook the flatbreads and caramelize the peaches!

Description

Grilled peach and pesto flatbread pizzas should be deemed the dinner of the SUMMER!! Fresh, juicy caramelized peaches with a quick homemade pesto all grilled on a fluffy homemade flatbread with roasted cherry tomatoes? Say LESS! You’ll be making this easy grilling recipe for dinner parties, barbecues, date night, and more!

Ingredients

Scale

Flatbread (adapted from Kitchen Sanctuary):

  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 cup (240 mL) warm water
  • 
1 tsp maple syrup
  • 
1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp dairy free yogurt
  • 
3 1/4 cups (360 g) bread flour
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Flatbread Pizzas:

  • 3 large peaches, ripe
  • 1 batch vegan pesto
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup vegan mozzarella or vegan store bought cheese

Instructions

  1. Prep: You can use store bought flatbreads and still grill them, or you can quickly make your own homemade ones (below). I find the latter super easy, so the directions will flow with those instructions included!
  2. Make the flatbread dough: In a medium bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and maple syrup. Set aside to activate for 5 minutes, then add in the olive oil and dairy free yogurt, and mix to combine. Then add in the flour and sea salt, and using clean hands, knead the dough into a shaggy dough ball. Cover and set aside in a warm area (at least 85F) to rise until doubled in size, about 40-60 minutes. 
  3. While the dough is rising, prep the tomatoes & pesto: Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse the cherry tomatoes, then place them onto the baking sheet. Toss with olive oil and sea salt, and place into the oven to roast for 15-20 minutes, or until bursted and blistered. Remove from the oven and set aside. Follow the instructions for preparing the vegan pesto.
  4. Slice and grill the peaches: Slice the peaches to be about 1/2″ thick slices. Heat a grill plate with olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, place the peaches onto the grill plate and allow them to cook for 3-5 minutes, or until caramelized and grill marks appear. Then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the opposite side. Once cooked, remove the peaches with tongs and set aside on a plate for assembly. 
  5. Grill the flatbreads: Once the flatbread dough is doubled in size, divide the dough into 4-6 even dough balls on a clean, lightly floured surface. Take one dough ball and gently stretch it to be an uneven circle about 4-8″ in diameter, depending on if you decided to make more or less flatbreads. Keeping the grill plate still hot, add additional oil if needed and place the flatbread onto the grill plate and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the grill plate side is golden brown with grill marks. Flip the flatbread with tongs or a spatula, and cook on the other side for an additional 1 minute. Remove and repeat for all flatbreads. 
  6. Assemble: To assemble the flatbreads, spread about 1 tablespoon of pesto onto each flatbread, followed by a few roasted cherry tomatoes, vegan cheese, and peaches. 
  7. Bake: Or cook further on the grill! If you’re just using a grill plate, you can preheat the oven to 400F, and place the flatbreads onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Place into the oven to bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  8. Slice and serve: Remove the flatbreads, slice, and serve warm! Enjoy!

Equipment

Notes

Flatbread: You can use store-bought to save time, but it will taste better with homemade!

Pesto: You can use store bought vegan pesto or make my recipe listed in the ingredients section!

Vegan cheese: I recommend Miyoko’s mozzarella (which I grated with a cheese grater) or any of their shredded cheeses.
