Why Pan-Fried Pizza is a Game-Changer
We love baking pizza, but pan-frying the dough in a cast iron skillet gives it an incredible crispy crust while keeping the inside soft and chewy. It’s the kind of texture you usually only get from restaurant-style pizza ovens.
For a quick skillet pizza with peaches and burrata, this method is unbeatable and perfect for summer when you don’t want to turn on the oven.
Quick Tip!
Use extra-ripe peaches for maximum sweetness, and let your burrata come to room temperature so it melts perfectly over the hot pizza.
The Power of Fresh Herbs
A sprinkle of fresh basil or thyme brings everything together and adds that summery freshness we love. We’ve even tried adding a pinch of chili flakes for a little heat, and it’s next-level good.

Ingredients
For the Homemade Dough:
- 250 g 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- ½ tsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 150 ml ⅔ cup warm water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the Pizza Topping:
- 1 ripe peach sliced thinly
- 1 ball burrata cheese about 125 g
- 2 tbsp olive oil plus extra for frying
- 1 small garlic clove minced
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Salt & freshly cracked black pepper
- Optional: drizzle of balsamic glaze
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Add warm water and olive oil. Mix with a spoon until a rough dough forms.
- Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Step 2: Shape the Pizza
- Punch down the dough and divide into 2 equal portions.
- Roll out each portion into a thin 8-inch (20 cm) circle.
Step 3: Pan-Fry the Pizza Base
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Place the rolled-out dough in the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes until golden on the bottom.
- Flip the dough, spread minced garlic on the cooked side, and top with peach slices. Cover with a lid and cook another 3–4 minutes until the base is crisp and the peaches are slightly softened.
Step 4: Finish with Burrata
- Transfer to a board or plate. Tear burrata over the hot pizza, drizzle with remaining olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Garnish with fresh basil and optional balsamic glaze.
Notes
- If you want extra crunch, sprinkle the crust with semolina before frying.
- Burrata should be added after cooking to stay creamy.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Pan-Fried Peach & Burrata Pizza
🍑 What makes this pizza unique?
This recipe uses a skillet to pan-fry the dough until it’s golden and bubbly—no pizza stone or oven required. The combination of juicy peaches, creamy burrata, and fresh herbs creates a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.
🍞 Can I use premade dough?
Absolutely! Store-bought dough works perfectly if you’re short on time. Homemade dough adds an extra layer of flavor, but either option delivers great results.
🔥 Why cook the dough in a skillet?
Pan-frying gives the crust a crispy, golden base while keeping the inside soft and chewy. It’s a quick and easy method that doesn’t require preheating an oven.
🍑 What fruit works best on this pizza?
Ripe peaches are ideal because of their sweet, juicy flavor. Nectarines or plums are great alternatives if peaches aren’t in season.
🧀 Does it work with different cheeses?
Burrata is perfect for its creamy richness, but fresh mozzarella or ricotta can also work well. Add the cheese after cooking so it melts slightly without losing its texture.
🌱 What garnishes enhance it most?
A sprinkle of fresh basil, arugula, or mint adds a refreshing finish. A drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze can also elevate the flavors.
🥘 Can I cook this ahead of time?
You can prep the dough and slice the fruit in advance, but for the best texture, cook the pizza just before serving.
🥡 How should I reheat leftovers?
Reheat in a skillet or hot oven to keep the crust crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the crust soggy.
