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: On a floured surface, roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness, then transfer it carefully to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone for baking.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a hot baking environment that crisps the crust nicely.
- Brush the Crust: Lightly brush the edges of the dough with olive oil to help the crust become golden and crisp during baking.
- Bake the Crust: Bake the dough for 8 to 10 minutes until it starts to set and becomes firm but is not browned, creating the ideal surface to hold the toppings.
- Add Burrata and Prosciutto: Remove the partially baked crust from the oven and evenly spread torn pieces of burrata over the surface. Then layer thin slices of prosciutto carefully over the cheese and dough.
- Drizzle Honey and Garnish: Generously drizzle high-quality honey over the pizza, sprinkle fresh basil leaves, and season with a pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper to enhance the combined flavors.
- Final Bake (Optional): For a slightly warmed burrata, return the pizza to the oven for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Otherwise, serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, creamy texture of the burrata.
Notes
- Using a pizza stone can improve crust crispiness but is optional.
- For a stronger basil aroma, add basil leaves after baking instead of before.
- Adjust honey amount according to your preferred sweetness level.
- This pizza is best served immediately to enjoy the creamy burrata at its freshest.
