Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Dough and 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: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough to your preferred thickness. Carefully transfer the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone for optimal heat distribution.
- Brush the Crust: Using a brush, lightly coat the edges of the rolled-out dough with olive oil. This step ensures the crust bakes to a golden, crispy texture with a delightful crunch.
- Bake the Crust: Place the dough in the preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Bake just until the crust starts to set, becoming firm but not browned, creating a perfect base for toppings.
- Add Burrata and Prosciutto: Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Evenly distribute torn pieces of burrata cheese on top, followed by a layer of thinly sliced prosciutto, ensuring each slice includes cheese and meat for balanced flavor in every bite.
- Drizzle Honey and Garnish: Generously drizzle the high-quality honey over the pizza. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves for aromatic freshness, and season with sea salt and cracked black pepper to enhance all the flavors.
- Final Bake (Optional): If you prefer the burrata slightly warmed, return the pizza to the oven for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Otherwise, serve immediately to enjoy the burrata’s creamy texture at room temperature.
Notes
- Use a pizza stone for a crispier crust if available.
- Serve immediately after assembly for the freshest burrata flavor.
- Can substitute honey with a light drizzle of aged balsamic vinegar for a tangy twist.
- Ensure the prosciutto slices are thin for the best texture and flavor balance.
- Adjust amount of honey based on your desired sweetness.
