How to Make Prosciutto Honey Burrata Pizza
- Preheat your oven to 475°F and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper.
- Brush the dough with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the surface, leaving a small border.
- Slide the pizza (on the parchment) onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes until the crust begins to turn golden and cheese melts.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately scatter torn burrata pieces evenly on top.
- Layer the thin prosciutto slices over the burrata, then return the pizza to the oven for 3-4 more minutes until the crust is crisp and the cheese is soft and creamy.
- Take the pizza out and drizzle the honey evenly over the top. Scatter fresh basil leaves, then season with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Slice and serve warm, enjoying the perfect balance of creamy, salty, and sweet flavors.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use a pizza stone or preheated baking sheet for a crispier crust.
- Don’t overload the pizza with cheese; burrata is rich enough to shine on its own.
- Drizzle honey just before serving to keep the sweetness fresh and bright.
- If you can’t find burrata, fresh mozzarella is a good substitute, though creaminess will vary.
- Let the dough rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before rolling to make it easier to stretch.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftover prosciutto honey burrata pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Burrata is best fresh, so you may want to remove any remaining burrata before storing and add fresh cheese when reheating.
To reheat, place slices on a baking sheet and warm in a 375°F oven for 5-7 minutes until heated through. Avoid the microwave to keep the crust crisp and flavors intact.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of honey?
Yes, you can experiment with different honeys like clover, wildflower, or orange blossom. Just choose one with a mild flavor so it complements rather than overpowers the pizza.
Is burrata cheese necessary for this pizza?
Burrata adds a creamy, luxurious texture that defines this pizza, but fresh mozzarella can be used if burrata is unavailable. Keep in mind the flavor and creaminess will be slightly different.
Can I make the dough from scratch?
Absolutely! Homemade pizza dough works wonderfully and lets you customize thickness and texture. Just allow enough time for the dough to rise before baking.
What wine pairs well with prosciutto honey burrata pizza?
A crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a light red like Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with the sweet and salty flavors of this pizza, enhancing the overall experience.
