Rwop Finalist Blue Peach Pizza Recipes

SPICY SUMMER PEACH PIZZA

Steps:

• For the crust: Sprinkle yeast over 10 ounces warm water (90 to 100 degrees F?feels like mild bath water) and stir.
• Let sit 5 minutes to bloom.
• Add flour and salt to a stand mixer fitted with dough hook attachment and mix to evenly distribute.
• With mixer on a medium speed, slowly add yeasted water, then olive oil. Let mix until a smooth elastic dough ball forms, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Turn dough onto a floured work surface and knead by hand for 2 minutes.
• Form dough into a tight ball and place in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place to proof until it has approximately doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and divide into 3 equal portions. Form each into a tight dough round by hand and place in smaller bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to slowly ferment, 12 to 24 hours.
• Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and spread by hand into approximately 12-inch pizza crusts.
• Carefully lift crusts onto a floured pizza peel or the back of a floured cookie sheet.
• For the toppings: Preheat the oven with a pizza stone in it on the highest setting possible; 650 degrees F in a wood-fired pizza oven or 500 degrees F in a conventional oven.
• Spread a thin layer (about 1/2 cup) Goat Cheese Creme Fraiche over each dough.
• Place 8 pieces of peach on each. Sprinkle sliced red onions around pizza.
• Place sliced jalapenos around pizza. Sprinkle cheese evenly over pizzas. Place 6 pieces pancetta in a spoke pattern around pizzas.
• Shimmy a pizza onto hot pizza stone in oven.
• Bake until edges are golden and crispy looking, 4 to 9 minutes.
• Remove from oven and sprinkle fresh arugula over top. Cut pizza into 6 wedges and serve. Repeat with remaining pizzas.
• Soften goat cheese at room temperature for 30 minutes. Mix goat cheese and creme fraiche together until smooth and well combined.
