Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. On a floured surface, roll the whole wheat pizza dough into a 10-12 inch circle, about ¼ inch thick. Transfer to the baking sheet.
  3. In a bowl, mix ½ cup of ricotta cheese with pesto until smooth. Spread this mixture over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  4. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the ricotta, then add shredded chicken and sliced peaches. Dollop remaining ricotta on top.
  5. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  6. Remove the pizza from the oven, sprinkle with black pepper, arugula, and torn basil. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve immediately.
