Ingredients
Scale
For the Pizza Base
- 1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Flour (for rolling out the dough)
- Olive oil (for brushing)
Toppings
- 1 ball fresh burrata cheese
- Thinly sliced prosciutto (about 4-6 slices)
- 1–2 tablespoons high-quality honey
- Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
- Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it inside the oven while it heats up to ensure even cooking and a crispy crust.
- Roll Out Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a circle or rectangle about ¼ inch thick to achieve a thin, crispy base.
- Prepare for Baking: Transfer the rolled dough onto a sheet of parchment paper to make handling easier when placing it in the oven.
- Brush with Olive Oil: Brush the entire surface of the dough with olive oil, paying special attention to the edges to promote a golden, flavorful crust.
- Bake the Dough: Carefully slide the dough along with the parchment paper onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 7-10 minutes until the crust is lightly golden and puffed up.
- Add Burrata: Remove the pizza from the oven and tear the burrata cheese into small pieces. Scatter the cheese evenly across the crust while it’s still hot.
- Add Prosciutto: Lay the thinly sliced prosciutto slices over the burrata, covering the pizza generously to distribute flavor evenly.
- Drizzle Honey: Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of high-quality honey evenly over the prosciutto and burrata to add a subtle sweetness.
- Final Bake: Return the pizza to the oven for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the burrata to melt and become bubbly without overcooking the prosciutto.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and, if desired, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice. Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- Using a pizza stone ensures a crispy crust but you can also use a baking sheet if you don’t have one.
- Adjust the amount of honey based on your preference for sweetness.
- For a spicier kick, add more crushed red pepper flakes or fresh chili slices.
- Make sure the burrata is fresh for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Allow the pizza to cool slightly after baking to avoid burning your mouth on the hot cheese.
