Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add burrata cheese: Tear the burrata into chunks or slice evenly and distribute across the dough, leaving space for other toppings.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
