Makes: two flatbreads | Total Time: 90 minutes till it’s ready

Ingredients

For flatbreads

1 (unbaked) Flatbread “My Way” dough (see page 27 for recipe)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced, about 2 cups
6 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled, about 1 cup
¼ cup maple syrup
fresh mint

Overhead raw ingredients arrangement: clear glass bowls neatly presenting fresh ripe peach slices, creamy white ricotta cheese, a wedge of blue Gorgonzola cheese, a small glass pitcher of pure amber maple syrup, and fresh green mint leaves. Next to the bowls lies a rolled-out oval of raw flatbread dough on a smooth white marble countertop.

Instructions

Make and grill flatbread

Preheat the outdoor grill to 500° (or heat a grill pan on high heat).
Once the dough has risen, remove it from the bowl, divide it into two pieces, and roll out each piece into an elongated oval (or any shape you choose).
Place onto a baking sheet dusted with semolina flour.
Poke the dough several times with a fork.
Transfer the flatbreads to the grill and cook until the edges of the flatbreads begin to turn golden, about 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of your bread. The flatbread will have grill marks but should remain pliable and not too crisp. Remove from the grill and transfer back to the baking sheet.

Assemble toppings

Brush one side of each flatbread with olive oil.
Spread each with ricotta cheese.
Top with sliced peaches and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese.
Transfer the flatbreads back to the grill.
Close the cover on the grill and cook until the cheese begins to melt and the peaches soften, about 3 to 5 minutes. (For a grill pan, cover loosely with aluminum foil.) Be careful not to burn the bottom side of the flatbread.

Garnish and serve

Transfer to your serving platter and drizzle with maple syrup and fresh mint leaves.

Thing to Note:

Here’s a simple way to peel peaches. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cut a cross in the skin at the bottom of the peach. Carefully place the peach into the boiling water. The skin will begin to loosen where you made the cut after a minute or two. When it does, transfer the peach to a bowl filled with ice water. The skin of the peach will easily peel off.

The Heart of the Table

Serving these hot, beautifully charred peach and Gorgonzola flatbreads straight from the grill onto heavy wood platters is a true summer event. The fragrance of warm, caramelized peaches, melting Gorgonzola, and sweet maple glaze immediately gathers your guests around the table, inviting them to reach for a hot slice. As the fresh mint leaves catch the late-afternoon sun, this color-rich flatbread serves as a gorgeous, interactive center-of-the-table statement that perfectly balances savory smoke and summer sweetness.

A late-afternoon gathering in a coastal estate dining room overlooking the blue ocean. Eight guests are gathered around a long rustic wooden table, laughing, clinking glasses of chilled white wine, and sharing steaming slices of fresh grilled peach and Gorgonzola flatbread from a dark wooden serving board.

THE PRESENTATION: Serve entire flatbread ovals whole on dark wooden serving boards. Provide small porcelain dishes of additional maple syrup, cracked black pepper, and extra fresh mint leaves so guests can customize their slices table-side.
THE POUR: A glass of off-dry German Riesling, an aromatic Gewürztraminer, or a crisp, chilled Prosecco. The bright acidity and subtle sweetness of these pours beautifully balance the richness of the Gorgonzola and highlight the sweet peaches.
THE VIBE: Late-afternoon estate deck parties, sunset terrace dinners, or elegant summer garden socials. The ambiance is relaxed yet refined, with warm ocean breezes and glasses clinking.
