Why I Love This Recipe

Pizza night has been a longstanding tradition at our house. It typically occurs on a Friday and it's the perfect way to welcome the weekend. It ranges from just the 3 of us to a larger crew if we go big and invite friends. I fire up the outdoor pizza oven if the weather permits or plug in our indoor pizza oven and go to town. I'll always do a mix of 2-3 different pizzas and more times than not, that include this Burrata Pizza. It's salty and creamy and very easy to whip up.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• 1 pound of store bought or homemade pizza dough
• Olive oil
• Garlic
• Parmesan
• Burrata
• Prosciutto
• Basil, fresh or fried
• Red pepper flakes

How to Make

Preheat your oven to 500 degrees (or preheat your indoor pizza oven to 650-700)

Thirty minutes before cooking the pizza, put your pizza stone in the oven.

Stretch out your pizza dough using your hands in a circular motion, then lay it on a flat surface and flatten it out using a rolling pin. If you have a pizza peel, sprinkle some flour on it and place the stretched out dough on the peel.

Once your dough is flat and ready to be heated, use a spoon to spread the oil, garlic and parm all around the dough leaving a little bit for the crust.

Pop your pizza peel in the oven and slide it over the stone for 8-12 minutes.

Once the crust is cooked, remove from the oven and slather with the burrata and prosciutto. 

Garnish the Burrata Pizza with fried basil, salt, and red pepper flakes. Cut into 6-8 slices and serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks

If you're making your own pizza dough, grab a bag of 00 flour. It's a finer ground flour that allows for a softer and better dough. This is key because no one wants a tough pizza. If you can’t find 00 flour at your local grocery store, you can also order it from Amazon.

As I mentioned above, it's super important to let your pizza dough come to room temperature before trying to mold it into your pizza shape. I take it out at LEAST 30 minutes before forming, but it's best if you can let it sit at room temperature for 45-60 before shaping into a circle, oval or rectangle.

If you don't have a pizza oven or pizza peel, you can make pizza on a baking sheet without issue! Just be sure to have your oven on 500 so you can get the crust as crispy and perfect as possible.
