Introduction

This Prosciutto and Honey Burrata Pizza combines creamy burrata cheese with salty prosciutto and a touch of sweet honey for a perfect balance of flavors. It’s a simple yet elegant pizza that’s sure to impress at any meal.

A round pizza with a golden-brown thick crust sits on a wooden board. The first layer is melted cheese with a slightly bubbly and browned texture covering the base. On top, there are several slices of soft white cheese, each with a bit of bright yellow yolk-like sauce or egg center visible. Thin, slightly curled slices of deep red prosciutto are scattered over the cheese, adding a shiny and delicate texture. Fresh green arugula leaves are spread evenly over the top, adding a fresh, leafy touch. Some dark brown sauce is drizzled over the pizza, giving it a glossy finish. The wooden board holds the pizza, and a small white bowl with honey and a honey dipper is placed nearby on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

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 a preheated pizza stone.
Step 2: Lightly brush the edges of the dough with olive oil to help the crust become golden and crisp during baking.
Step 3: Bake the dough for 8 to 10 minutes, until it starts to set and becomes firm but not browned. This prepares a sturdy base for your toppings.
Step 4: Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Evenly place torn pieces of burrata over the surface, then layer thin slices of prosciutto on top, ensuring each slice has both cheese and meat.
Step 5: Drizzle the pizza generously with high-quality 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 preheated pizza stone for a crispier crust.
Swap basil for arugula for a peppery bite.
Drizzle balsamic glaze instead of honey for a tangy twist.
For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free pizza dough.

Storage

Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in a hot oven or toaster oven to retain crispness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the crust soggy and the burrata rubbery.

How to Serve

A pizza on a wooden board with a golden-brown, slightly thick crust, covered with melted cheese that is bubbly and browned in spots. On top, there are five fried eggs with bright yellow yolks and smooth white edges. Thin slices of dark pink prosciutto are spread over the eggs and cheese, some pieces folded and layered to add texture. Fresh green arugula leaves are scattered on top, adding a touch of brightness and contrast. The pizza is lightly drizzled with a dark sauce, which glistens against the other toppings. The wooden board is placed on a white marbled surface, with a small white bowl and a glass jar of honey or syrup blurred in the background. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use shredded mozzarella instead of burrata?

While mozzarella works as a substitute, burrata’s creamy texture and rich flavor are key to this pizza’s character. Shredded mozzarella will be less creamy but still delicious.

Should I add the prosciutto before or after baking?

This recipe calls for adding prosciutto after a partial bake to keep its delicate texture and flavor. Adding it too early can make it dry and overly salty.
