Ingredients
(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)
Pizza dough
Creates a crisp yet chewy base that holds toppings beautifully.
Olive oil
Enhances flavor and helps achieve a golden crust.
Mozzarella cheese
Provides a mild, melty foundation for the toppings.
Burrata cheese
Adds luxurious creaminess and rich texture.
Prosciutto
Brings delicate saltiness and savory depth.
Honey
Adds gentle sweetness that balances the salty elements.
Fresh basil
Adds freshness and aromatic contrast.
Black pepper
Provides subtle heat and finishing flavor.
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Add gentle heat for those who enjoy spice.
Directions
Begin by preheating the oven and placing a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and brush lightly with olive oil.
Transfer the dough to the hot baking surface. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the base, leaving a small border around the edges. Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately tear burrata over the hot surface, allowing it to soften and spread naturally. Arrange prosciutto gently over the pizza so it warms without crisping.
Drizzle honey evenly over the top, then finish with fresh basil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Slice and serve immediately.
