Introduction

This Prosciutto and Honey Burrata Pizza is a perfect balance of savory and sweet, combining creamy burrata, delicate prosciutto, and a drizzle of golden honey. Simple to prepare yet impressive in flavor, it’s a delightful treat for any pizza lover seeking something a little special.

There are dollops of creamy white cheese in the center of the pizza, slightly melted, and scattered fresh green arugula leaves that add a pop of color on top. The pizza surface shows a mix of crispy spots and gooey cheese areas.

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 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 creates a sturdy base for your toppings.
Step 4: Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Evenly dollop torn pieces of burrata over the crust, then layer the thinly sliced prosciutto on top, making sure each slice includes both cheese and meat.
Step 5: Drizzle the pizza generously with honey. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves and season with sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste.
Step 6 (Optional): For a slightly warmed 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 crisper crust.
Substitute burrata with fresh mozzarella if preferred.
Try adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Choose a mild honey like clover or a more floral variety like acacia to complement the flavors.

Storage

Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a low oven or a skillet to preserve the creaminess of the burrata. Avoid microwaving, as it can alter the texture of the cheese.

How to Serve

A round pizza with a golden, slightly thick crust forms the base, covered in a layer of melted cheese with browned spots. On top, there are several dollops of white creamy cheese spread evenly. Thin slices of reddish-pink prosciutto are layered loosely across the pizza, some pieces draping gently over the cheese. Bright green arugula leaves are scattered in between the prosciutto, adding a fresh look. A drizzle of shiny dark brown honey or balsamic glaze runs across the top, adding contrast and shine. The pizza sits on a wooden board with coarse salt flakes and a few arugula leaves around it, all placed on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen pizza dough for this recipe?

Yes, frozen pizza dough works well. Just be sure to thaw it completely before rolling it out to ensure even baking.

Is it necessary to bake the pizza twice?

Baking the crust first helps it develop a firm base that won’t get soggy. The optional second bake warms the burrata slightly, but you can also enjoy the pizza without it for a fresh, creamy texture.
