Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 fresh pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Olive oil, for brushing
- Sea salt, to taste
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 8 oz burrata cheese, torn into pieces
- 4 oz thinly sliced beef prosciutto
- 2 tbsp high-quality honey
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out your pizza dough to the desired thickness and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone for an evenly baked crust.
- Brush Edges: Lightly brush the edges of the dough with olive oil to encourage a golden crust and add flavor.
- Par-Bake Crust: Bake the dough for 8 to 10 minutes until it starts to set but has not browned, ensuring a crisp base before toppings are added.
- Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven and evenly dollop torn pieces of burrata over the surface. Layer thin slices of beef prosciutto on top of the cheese for a savory flavor contrast.
- Drizzle Honey and Garnish: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of high-quality honey over the toppings. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves along with sea salt and cracked black pepper to enhance the taste and aroma.
- Final Bake or Serve: Return the pizza to the oven for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to warm the burrata slightly, or serve immediately if you prefer the cheese cooler.
Notes
- You can substitute beef prosciutto with traditional pork prosciutto if preferred.
- For a crispier crust, use a preheated pizza stone or baking steel.
- Use high-quality honey for the best balance of sweetness.
- Fresh burrata cheese is essential for authentic creamy texture.
- This pizza is best enjoyed fresh but leftovers can be reheated gently to avoid toughening the crust.
