- Category: Appetizers
- Method: Baking
- Cuisine: Italian
- Diet: Vegetarian (if prosciutto omitted or replaced with plant-based alternative); not gluten free unless using gluten-free dough
Base
- 1 pizza dough (fresh or store-bought, enough for one 12-inch pizza)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing the crust)
- Sea salt, to taste
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 150g burrata cheese, torn into chunks
- 4–6 thin slices prosciutto
- 2 tablespoons honey (preferably light honey like acacia or clover)
- 1 handful fresh arugula (optional)
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness for the crispiest crust. Transfer the shaped dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Pre-bake the Crust: Lightly brush the dough with olive oil. Bake in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) for 7 to 8 minutes to create a sturdy base that prevents sogginess once toppings are added.
- Add Burrata Cheese: Remove the pizza crust from the oven and evenly spread torn chunks of burrata over the surface while it is still warm to encourage gentle melting.
- Bake Until Golden: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly without excessive browning.
- Top with Prosciutto and Honey: When out of the oven, drape thin slices of prosciutto over the pizza. Drizzle honey generously on top to combine the sweet and salty flavors.
- Finish with Fresh Garnishes: Add fresh arugula if desired, and sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper and a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavor profile.
Notes
- Use high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor for this simple pizza.
- Don’t overload toppings to keep the crust crispy and prevent sogginess.
- Always drizzle honey after baking to preserve its floral aroma and prevent burning.
- Preheat your oven thoroughly for optimal crust crispiness and perfectly melted cheese.
- Using a pizza stone is recommended to evenly distribute heat and crisp the bottom crust.
