Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pizza dough ball (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
- ½ cup tomato sauce (optional, depending on preference)
- 1 ball of burrata cheese
- 4 oz prosciutto
- 2 tablespoons honey (preferably mild honey like clover or acacia)
- Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
- Freshly cracked black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating for a crispy crust. Roll out the dough to your desired thickness.
- Brush with Olive Oil: Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush the dough with olive oil and, if using, spread a thin layer of tomato sauce.
- Bake the Pizza Base: Bake the pizza base in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and firm.
- Add Burrata and Prosciutto: Remove the pizza from the oven. Tear the burrata into chunks and evenly distribute it over the pizza. Gently fold the prosciutto into pieces and scatter it across the pizza.
- Drizzle with Honey: Drizzle the honey generously over the burrata and prosciutto.
- Bake Again and Garnish: Return the pizza to the oven for another 3–5 minutes to warm the burrata and crisp the prosciutto. Garnish with fresh basil, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Slice and Serve: Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality burrata for the best creamy texture.
- If using tomato sauce, apply sparingly to not overpower the delicate flavors of the burrata and prosciutto.
- Watch the prosciutto carefully to avoid over-crisping.
- For a more robust flavor, try balsamic glaze instead of honey.
