I love this flatbread! It essentially combines all of my favourite summer flavours. The dough is sweet and slightly chewy. The peaches are tossed in bourbon and sugar before they are grilled. They are draped in a salty, delicious prosciutto and then smothered in a fresh creamy buffalo mozzarella. Then, after a quick trip under the broiler, the entire thing is drizzled in a sweet and acidic balsamic glaze. Bourbon Grilled Peach Flatbread is my new favourite thing!

Bourbon Grilled Peach Flatbread

I’ve made this flatbread in the past, but I wanted to make some tweaks to the dough before I was comfortable sharing the recipe. I finally found a winner!

Note: The bourbon in this recipe is optional, but I find it brings out the sweetness in the peaches and adds an incredible depth of flavour. While the bourbon flavour is very subtle, I find it still adds something to this dish.

  • After your dough has risen, portion it into two pieces. Using a rolling pin, roll your dough thin. Preheat a large pan over high heat, and drizzle with olive oil. Add your dough to the pan, and wait for it to bubble. Once you see bubbles, flip and let cook for another minute or two. Remove from the heat and set aside.
