    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Preheat the Yoder:
      Fire up your Yoder Smoker with the wood-fired pizza oven attachment. Heat to around 500°F using Yoder’s pizza blend pellets for a slightly sweet, smoky flavor.
    2. Prepare the Base:
      Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Brush with olive oil, then sprinkle with red pepper flakes and rosemary.
    3. Add the Cheese:
      Evenly spread the Gouda, mozzarella, and Parmesan across the dough, leaving a small crust border.
    4. Top It Off:
      Lay the peach slices and torn prosciutto over the cheese. Don’t overcrowd — let the ingredients breathe and caramelize.
    5. Bake the Pizza:
      Place the pizza directly on a pizza stone or steel inside the Yoder Pizza Oven. Bake for 5–7 minutes, rotating as needed, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
    6. Finish & Serve:
      Remove from the oven, drizzle with balsamic glaze, and garnish with fresh basil and a pinch of extra rosemary. Slice and serve immediately.

    Pro Tip:

    If using fresh dough, let it come to room temp before stretching. It’ll cook more evenly and puff up beautifully in the hot Yoder oven.
