Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Flour, for dusting
- Olive oil, for brushing
Toppings
- 1 ball fresh burrata cheese
- Thinly sliced prosciutto (about 3-4 ounces)
- 1–2 tablespoons high-quality honey
- Fresh basil leaves, a handful
- Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone inside the oven to heat if using one; otherwise, a baking sheet will work fine.
- Roll Out Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a ¼ inch thick circle or rectangle. Don’t worry about perfect shape—rustic is ideal!
- Prepare Dough for Baking: Transfer the rolled dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Brush olive oil liberally over the entire surface of the dough, focusing especially on the edges to promote a golden crust.
- Bake Dough: Carefully place the dough (on the parchment) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 7-10 minutes until it puffs up slightly and turns lightly golden.
- Add Cheese: Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Tear the burrata into small pieces and evenly scatter over the crust.
- Add Prosciutto: Layer thin slices of prosciutto generously on top of the burrata.
- Drizzle Honey: Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of high-quality honey over the prosciutto and burrata.
- Final Bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until the burrata melts slightly and becomes bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves and optional crushed red pepper flakes on top. Slice with a pizza cutter and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Preheat the pizza stone thoroughly to achieve a crispy crust.
- Use fresh, high-quality burrata and prosciutto for the best flavor profile.
- Drizzle honey sparingly to balance sweetness without overpowering the flavors.
- You can substitute fresh mozzarella for burrata if unavailable, though it will be less creamy.
- Keep an eye on your oven as cooking times may vary; avoid burning the crust.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free pizza dough or cauliflower crust as a base.
