How to Make Your Grilled Peach Flatbread
This summer grilled peach flatbread is surprisingly easy to pull together and makes for the perfect quick dinner or high protein lunch. Each step is simple but builds flavor and texture for the ultimate flatbread with grilled peach.
Grill the Peach
Wash and slice your peach into even segments. Lightly spray a grill pan with olive oil and heat on medium.
Once hot, add the peach slices and cook for a few minutes on each side until grill marks appear and the fruit starts to caramelize. Set aside.
Make the Arugula Salad
In a small bowl, combine arugula, a little olive oil, and a sprinkle of coarse salt. Use your hands to gently massage and coat the greens, then set aside.
Slice the Tomatoes
Wash and thinly slice your heirloom tomato. Halve the slices to make them easier to eat on your grilled peach pizza.
Make the High Protein Dough
In a mixing bowl, add your Greek yogurt, flours, protein powder, salt, and garlic powder. Mix together until a crumbly dough forms.
Lightly flour your counter and pour out the dough. Knead and shape into a smooth ball, adding more flour if needed to prevent sticking.
Roll the dough out into a rectangular flatbread shape, flipping occasionally to avoid sticking. Use your fingers to pinch the edges for a rustic crust, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Assemble & Bake
Spread the pesto on your flatbread, followed by grilled peaches, mint leaves, and tomato slices.
Bake at 350°F for 8–10 minutes, or until edges turn golden brown. For an extra crispy finish, broil for 1 minute (optional, but keep a close eye!).
Finish & Serve
Top with arugula salad, spoonfuls of cottage cheese, balsamic glaze, crushed red pepper, and flaky sea salt. Slice and enjoy warm, or reheat for a quick second meal—it holds up beautifully!
Tips and Tricks
Here are some valuable tips and tricks to make your grilled peach flatbread adventure smooth and delicious:
- Choose ripe peaches: For the best caramelized flavor on your summer grilled peach flatbread, select peaches that yield slightly to gentle pressure. They’ll sweeten beautifully on the grill and marry perfectly with savory toppings.
- Don’t over‑flour the dough: A light sprinkle of flour is all you need when rolling out this high protein flatbread—too much can make it dry. Aim for just enough to prevent sticking without compromising that tender, chewy texture.
- Watch the oven closely: When crisping the edges or broiling to finish, ovens vary—keep an eye on your flatbread with grilled peach to avoid burning the crust or toppings.
- Make it ahead: Grill your peaches and prep the arugula salad in advance. You can even mix the dough ahead of time, refrigerating it for up to 24 hours, so assembling your flatbread becomes a breeze.
- Heat preference tip: Prefer a softer crust? Skip the broil step. Want a crunchier bite? Let it broil for just a minute—and stay close by!
- Double it for company: Hosting friends or family? This high protein grilled peach flatbread scales nicely—double the dough and toppings for easy sharing.
These tricks ensure your flatbread with grilled peach turns out flavorful, well-textured, and crowd-pleasing every time.
Storage Instructions
Keep your grilled peach flatbread tasting fresh and delicious with these handy storage tips:
Leftovers of this high protein grilled peach flatbread store beautifully, and with proper care, make great second-day meals. Follow these simple steps to preserve both flavor and texture for your next crave-worthy bite.
- Refrigeration: Place any leftovers in an airtight container or wrap tightly with foil, then refrigerate within two hours of baking.
- Separate toppings: Store the arugula salad and cottage cheese toppings separately from the flatbread base to maintain crispness—this keeps the crust from getting soggy.
- Gentle reheating: Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 5–7 minutes, or until warmed through. For extra crispiness on your grilled peach pizza, pop it under the broiler for about 30 seconds.
- Avoid freezing: Freezing isn’t recommended—dairy toppings like cottage cheese and balsamic glaze don’t thaw well, and textures may suffer.
- Fresh finish: Once reheated, top with fresh arugula and drizzle a bit more balsamic glaze for that freshly-made feel.
By following these steps, your summer grilled peach flatbread will stay just as vibrant and delicious the next time you enjoy it.

FAQs
Have questions about this grilled peach flatbread? I’ve got answers to make this high protein grilled peach flatbread a breeze to prepare and enjoy:
-
Can I use gluten-free flour for the dough?
Absolutely! Swap the self-rising flour with a gluten-free blend (plus a gluten-free rising agent). You may need slightly less flour, so keep an eye on the dough’s texture—it should form a soft, workable ball without sticking.
-
How sweet should the peaches be?
Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm—they should have a fuzzy exterior and a sweet aroma. This ensures they caramelize nicely on the grill without turning mushy, giving you that ideal balance of juicy sweetness.
-
Is there a substitute for cottage cheese?
Definitely! Ricotta or burrata works well too. Just keep in mind, texture and protein content may vary slightly, but the creamy, summery vibe will still shine.
-
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! You can grill the peaches and mix the dough up to 24 hours ahead. Store the dough in an airtight container in the fridge and the peaches in a sealed container. When you’re ready, bake and top as directed—it’s a great way to streamline prep on busy days.
