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: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and carefully transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone to ensure a crisp base.
- Brush the Crust: Lightly brush the edges of the rolled-out dough with olive oil. This step helps the crust to turn golden and crispy when baked, adding a satisfying crunch.
- Bake the Crust: Place the pizza dough in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the dough becomes firm and starts to set but is not yet browned. This partial baking creates the perfect surface for adding toppings without sogginess.
- Add Burrata and Prosciutto: Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Evenly distribute torn pieces of burrata cheese over the top, then layer the thin slices of prosciutto to ensure every bite has a balance of creamy cheese and savory meat.
- Drizzle Honey and Garnish: Generously drizzle the pizza with high-quality honey to add a luscious sweetness that complements the saltiness of the prosciutto and creaminess of the burrata. Scatter fresh basil leaves on top and season with a pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper for enhanced flavor.
- Final Bake (Optional): If you prefer a slightly warmed burrata, return the pizza to the oven for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Alternatively, serve immediately to enjoy the burrata at its freshest, creamy texture.
Notes
- Use a preheated pizza stone if available for a crispier crust.
- Be cautious with honey quantity to balance sweetness with savory toppings.
- Fresh basil can be substituted with arugula for a peppery twist.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated but the burrata is best fresh.
