Base
- 1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, light and airy)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for brushing the crust)
Toppings
- 8 oz burrata cheese, sliced or torn into chunks
- 4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
- 2 tbsp honey (preferably light floral honey like acacia or clover)
Optional Garnishes
- 1 cup fresh arugula
- Sea salt, to taste
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
- Prepare your dough: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Stretch or roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness on a floured surface. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone for the crispiest crust.
- Brush with olive oil: Lightly brush the dough surface with extra virgin olive oil to promote a golden color and add subtle richness during baking.
- Add burrata cheese: Tear the burrata into chunks or slice evenly and distribute across the dough, leaving space for other toppings.
- Bake the pizza: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 8-12 minutes until the crust is crisp, golden, and the cheese begins to melt beautifully.
- Layer on prosciutto and honey: Immediately after baking, drape thin slices of prosciutto over the hot pizza. Then, drizzle honey on top to create a delightful sweet-salty contrast.
- Add finishing touches: Top with fresh arugula if desired, and sprinkle with sea salt and cracked black pepper to enhance the flavors.
Notes
- Use room temperature burrata to maximize creaminess as it melts on the warm crust.
- Don’t overload toppings to ensure the crust crisps well and flavors remain balanced.
- Drizzle honey after baking to avoid burning and preserve its natural sweetness.
- Preheat your oven thoroughly for a deeply crisp crust and perfectly melted cheese.
- Slice prosciutto paper-thin for the best melt-in-your-mouth texture without overpowering the pizza.
