Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Dice the bacon and cook in the hot skillet until crispy, about 4–5 minutes; transfer the bacon to a paper towel–lined plate, keeping the fat in the pan.
- In a small bowl, mash the blackberries with pepper and garlic powder until saucy; set aside.
- Coarsely grate the mozzarella cheese.
- Set the pitas on a baking sheet. Spread the blackberry mixture over each pita, leaving a ½-inch border, then top with the grated cheese and the crispy bacon.
- Bake 6–8 minutes, or until the pitas are crisp and the cheese is melted.
- Minify the shallot, then whisk it with extra virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Halve the tomatoes and cut them into ½-inch wedges; add to the bowl with the dressing.
- Quarter the peach lengthwise, twist to separate the quarters, remove pits, and slice into ½-inch wedges; add to the bowl.
- Tear basil leaves into ribbons, add to the bowl, and toss the salad, reserving a small handful for topping the pizzas.
- When the pizzas come out, sprinkle with the reserved basil and cut into wedges.
- Divide the pizzas and salad between plates and serve.
Two tips
- Prep the blackberry sauce and dressing ahead and refrigerate until ready to use.
- If you want a touch more sweetness, add a bit more honey to the dressing or drizzle a little on the salad just before serving.
