Ingredients

Scale

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
  • 46 thin slices prosciutto
  • 2 tablespoons honey (preferably light honey like acacia or clover)
  • 1 handful fresh arugula (optional)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
