2mediumtomatoes- grated and strained (see directions)
½clovegarlic- minced
1teaspoonextra virgin olive oil- plus more for drizzling
½smallred onion- sliced into rings (using a mandolin or sharp chef’s knife)
2tablespoonsbalsamic vinegar- the thicker and sweeter, the better (but avoiding sugar-added glazes)
6ouncesfresh mozzarella- torn or cut into slices
1wholepeach- sliced into thin crescents (using a mandolin or sharp chef’s knife)
2sprigsfresh basil- leaves torn
1wholepizza 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.
