Introduction

This Prosciutto and Honey Burrata Pizza is a perfect blend of savory, creamy, and sweet flavors. Featuring fresh burrata cheese and delicate prosciutto, it’s elevated with a drizzle of honey and fresh basil for a gourmet touch that’s easy to recreate at home.

Ingredients

1 fresh pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
Olive oil, for brushing
Sea salt, to taste
Cracked black pepper, to taste
8 oz burrata cheese, torn into pieces
4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
2 tbsp high-quality honey
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). On a floured surface, roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness, then transfer it carefully to a parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
Step 2: Lightly brush the edges of the dough with olive oil to promote a golden, crisp crust during baking.
Step 3: Bake the dough for 8 to 10 minutes, until it starts to set and becomes firm but is not browned—this will create the perfect base for your toppings.
Step 4: Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Evenly distribute torn pieces of burrata over the surface, then layer the thin slices of prosciutto on top.
Step 5: Drizzle the pizza generously with honey, sprinkle fresh basil leaves, and season with sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste.
Step 6: For a warm, slightly melted burrata, return the pizza to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes. Otherwise, serve immediately to enjoy the cheese fresh and creamy.

Tips & Variations

Use a pizza stone if you have one to achieve a crispier crust.
Swap honey for a balsamic glaze for a tangy alternative.
Try adding arugula after baking for an extra peppery bite and fresh texture.
If you prefer, you can bake the entire pizza fully assembled for a different texture, but burrata may melt completely.

Storage

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a low oven or on a skillet to keep the crust crisp. Burrata is best enjoyed fresh, so consider adding any remaining cheese fresh after reheating.

FAQs

Can I use frozen pizza dough for this recipe?

Yes, frozen pizza dough works well. Just make sure to thaw it completely before rolling out and follow the same baking instructions.

Is it necessary to pre-bake the crust?

Pre-baking ensures the crust is firm and crisp before adding delicate toppings like burrata and prosciutto, preventing sogginess. It’s highly recommended for best results.
