Base & Sauce
- Pizza Dough: 1 fresh or store-bought dough ball (about 12 inches)
- Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons for brushing
Cheese & Toppings
- Burrata Cheese: 8 ounces, torn into chunks
- Prosciutto: 4 ounces, thinly sliced
- Honey: 1 to 2 tablespoons for drizzling
- Fresh Arugula (optional): 1 cup, loosely packed
- Flaky Sea Salt: To taste, for garnish
- Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). On a floured surface, roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough onto a preheated baking stone or baking sheet for best results.
- Brush with Olive Oil: Gently brush 2 tablespoons of olive oil evenly across the surface of the dough to help create a golden, crispy crust and add subtle richness.
- Bake the Base: Place the dough in the oven and bake for 7-8 minutes until the crust begins to set and develop a slight golden brown color. This step prevents sogginess when toppings are added.
- Add Burrata: Tear the burrata into chunks and evenly scatter them over the partially baked crust. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 4-5 minutes, allowing the cheese to soften and slightly melt.
- Layer Prosciutto and Drizzle Honey: Remove the pizza from the oven. Arrange thin slices of prosciutto evenly over the burrata. Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of fresh honey on top to add the perfect subtle sweetness.
- Finish with Garnishes: Just before serving, top the pizza with fresh arugula and sprinkle flaky sea salt over the surface for a peppery brightness and crunchy texture.
Notes
- Use high-quality burrata and prosciutto for the best flavor and texture.
- Don’t overload the pizza with burrata to avoid a soggy crust.
- Drizzle honey sparingly to balance flavors without overpowering.
- Preheat the oven thoroughly to ensure a crispy crust and melted cheese.
- Add fresh greens like arugula only right before serving to keep them crisp.
