FAQs

Yes! Simply omit the chicken and add extra goat cheese or include other protein sources like:
- Hemp hearts (sprinkle 2 tablespoons for added protein)
- Chickpeas (1/4 cup, lightly seasoned)
- Pine nuts (2 tablespoons for crunch and protein)
- Extra cheese (increase goat cheese to 3 oz)
Several substitutes work well:
- Naan bread - provides a slightly thicker, chewier base
- Pita bread - use the pocket-less variety for best results
- Tortilla wraps - choose the largest, thickest ones available
- Pizza dough - roll thin and pre-bake for 3-4 minutes before adding toppings
Fresh is best, but alternatives work:
- Frozen peach slices - thaw completely and pat dry before using
- Canned peaches - drain thoroughly and pat dry; choose those packed in juice, not syrup
- Dried peaches - rehydrate in warm water for 10 minutes, then slice thin
Yes, with some considerations:
- Assemble up to 4 hours ahead - cover and refrigerate, then bake when ready
- Prep ingredients separately up to 2 days in advance
- Don't add basil until after baking to prevent wilting
- Add balsamic glaze just before serving for best appearance
For crispy results:
- Oven method (best): 350°F for 5-7 minutes
- Toaster oven: 350°F for 3-5 minutes
- Air fryer: 350°F for 2-3 minutes
- Avoid microwave - it makes the crust soggy
Yes, try these swaps:
- Dairy-free mozzarella - many brands melt well
- Cashew cream cheese - pipe or dollop like goat cheese
- Nutritional yeast - sprinkle for cheesy flavor
Common causes and solutions:
- Oven not hot enough - ensure it's fully preheated to 425°F
- Too many wet toppings - pat peaches dry before using
- No air circulation - use a pizza stone or perforated pan
- Thick toppings - keep layers moderate
