Ingredients
  

  • 1 fresh pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • Olive oil for brushing
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Cracked black pepper to taste
  • 8 oz burrata cheese torn into pieces
  • 4 oz prosciutto thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons high-quality honey
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Equipment

  • Baking sheet or pizza stone
  • parchment paper
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). On a floured surface, roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness, then transfer it carefully to a parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
  2. Lightly brush the edges of the dough with olive oil to ensure they become golden and crisp during baking.
  3. Bake the dough for 8 to 10 minutes, until it starts to set and becomes firm but is not browned.
  4. Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Dollop torn pieces of burrata evenly over the crust. Layer the thin slices of prosciutto across the top ensuring each slice has both cheese and meat.
  5. Generously drizzle high-quality honey all over the pizza. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves and season with a pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper.
  6. For a slightly warmed burrata, return the pizza to the oven for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Alternatively, serve immediately to enjoy the cheese fresh and creamy.

Notes

Use room temperature burrata for better melting and flavor. Opt for mild, floral honey such as acacia or clover. Roll dough thinly for crispier crust. Avoid overbaking to preserve burrata's creamy texture. Add fresh basil after baking to maintain aroma and color.
