- 1/2 tsp. oregano
- Pinch or two of garlic powder optional
- 1 tsp. salt
PLUS
- 4 egg whites or egg substitute like aquafaba room temperature
- 4 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup warm water if making from scratch, add 2 Tablespoons additional water
- 2 packets 4 1/2 tsp. rapid rise pr pizza crust yeast, gluten-free (included with pizza crust mix)

Instructions
- Bring all ingredients to room temperature. If warming egg whites, place whole eggs in a bowl of very warm water for a few minutes while gathering other ingredients.
- If baking from scratch, whisk together dry ingredients except yeast; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine egg whites, olive oil, cider vinegar and water. Using a stand mixer (preferably), slowly add in the dry ingredient mix. Gradually add remaining liquid to get a firm but very sticky dough that can still be spread.
- Pour in the yeast and beat on high for an additional 2-3 minutes. (Note: this recipe may be mixed by hand in a large bowl, using a fork or wooden spoon and very strong muscles – stir as long as you can!).
- Prepare a pizza pan or baking sheet by oiling well or lining with parchment if the pan has holes in it (like a crisper pan) sprinkled with corn meal, if desired.
- Spoon the wet dough out into the middle of the pan and liberally oil your hands to spread the dough to no more than ¼ inch thick. Push gently with your oiled palms to spread the dough to the shape and size you like – an uneven shape actually looks more artisanal and authentic!
- Since you’ll be grilling, spread more thinly and don’t build up the edges of the crust very much, because the crust will be flipped and grilled on both sides.
- Set aside the crust to rise while you prepare your toppings – they need to be ready since this pizza only takes a few minutes to cook, start to finish. You could even put the crust pan inside your grill while it’s not lighted – on a hot day, the inside of a grill can easily reach 100°F, just right for rising pizza. Allow to rise for at least 20 minutes, ideally.
- If using a gas grill, turn on all burners to medium to preheat. Then reduce to low when your pizza is ready to cook. The temperature of the grill when closed should be around 400°F.
- The goal is to cook the pizza over indirect heat so it doesn’t burn. If using a charcoal grill, aim for a low flame or set your grate higher so the crust doesn't burn.
- Place the pizza pan on the grill and close the top. Cook for five minutes, then slide the crust out onto the grill grate directly. Cook for another 3 minutes or so (depending on how thick you spread your crust), until sear marks appear on the underside of the crust, but it’s not burned. Use a pizza peel or tongs to flip the crust to cook on the other side.
- Once flipped, brush with olive oil and arrange peaches and sliced mozzarella. Cook another 3 minutes with the lid closed, or until char marks appear but the crust is not burned.
- If you would like to melt the cheese more, but don’t want to over-cook the bottom of the crust, place a cast iron or oven-safe skillet on the grill, then lay another grill grate on top of the skillet to distance the pizza from the direct flame, but allow you to keep the flame on higher.
- Remove the pizza with the pizza peel or tongs, cut and serve (and don’t forget to turn off your grill!).
