Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 fresh pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Olive oil, for brushing
- Sea salt, to taste
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 8 oz burrata cheese, torn into pieces
- 4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
- 2 tbsp high-quality honey
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: 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.
- Brush the Crust: Lightly brush the edges of the dough with olive oil to ensure they become golden and crisp during baking, adding a delightful crunch to the base.
- Bake the Crust: Bake the dough for 8 to 10 minutes, until it starts to set and becomes firm but is not browned. This creates the ideal surface for your toppings.
- Add Burrata and Prosciutto: Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Dollop torn pieces of burrata evenly over the crust. Layer the thin slices of prosciutto across the top ensuring each slice has both cheese and meat.
- Drizzle Honey and Garnish: Generously drizzle high-quality honey all over the pizza. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves and season with a pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper to enhance all flavors.
- Final Bake (Optional): For a slightly warmed burrata, return the pizza to the oven for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Alternatively, serve immediately to enjoy the cheese fresh and creamy.
Notes
- Using a preheated pizza stone can help achieve a crisper crust.
- If you prefer a warm cheese texture, do the optional final bake for the best experience.
- Adjust the amount of honey drizzled based on your sweetness preference.
- Fresh basil can be substituted with arugula for a peppery taste.
- Make sure the burrata is fresh for the best creamy texture and flavor.
