Start the dough - mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl or stand mixer to combine. Stir in the warm water and melted butter and knead the dough. Knead about 5 minutes in a mixer, or about 12 minutes with your hands on the counter. Form a ball and coat with oil. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside on the counter about 2 hours.
Roll out the dough very thin. Spread the softened butter evenly on the dough. Roll up the dough into a tight roll, then roll the roll over onto itself to form a spiral. Make sure the outside is coated in the butter as well, and place it into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in the fridge for one hour.
Preheat oven to 425
Mix the melted butter with the garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, chili flake, and salt.
Roll out the dough and add it to a greased 9 inch pan. I like to use springform but any pizza or cake pan should be fine.
Press the dough into the bottom of the pan making sure the bottom of the dough is thin and flat and the sides are even.
Brush the garlic butter on the bottom dough. Next add the sausage, then the cheese, then the peaches. Brush more butter on the top of the peaches and the crust sides.
Cook at 425 for about 30 minutes until the edges are browned.
Allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Drizzle on the hot honey and add the basil. Slice and serve.
