How to Make Prosciutto Honey Burrata Pizza

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
2. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
3. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil, then spread the tomato sauce evenly, leaving a small border around the edge.
4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then slide the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
5. Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately arrange the torn burrata cheese and prosciutto slices on top.
6. Drizzle the honey over the entire pizza, then sprinkle with red pepper flakes and coarse sea salt for contrast.
7. Return the pizza to the oven for 2-3 minutes to warm the burrata slightly without melting it completely.
8. Take the pizza out and garnish with fresh basil leaves and an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired.
9. Slice and serve immediately while warm and creamy.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh burrata cheese for rich, creamy texture that melts gently on the pizza.
• If you don’t have a pizza stone, a preheated heavy baking sheet works well.
• Drizzle honey sparingly at first—you can always add more after baking to suit your sweetness preference.
• Let the dough rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before stretching to make it easier to handle.
• For an even crisper crust, bake the pizza on the lowest rack of your oven.

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 might want to add fresh slices if you plan to reheat.

To reheat, warm slices in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until the crust is crisp again. Avoid microwaving to keep the texture crisp and prevent the cheese from becoming rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular mozzarella instead of burrata?

Yes, you can substitute fresh mozzarella if burrata is not available. Keep in mind burrata offers a creamier, richer texture that complements the honey and prosciutto beautifully.

Is this pizza suitable for vegetarians?

This pizza includes prosciutto, which is a cured meat, so it’s not vegetarian. You can omit the prosciutto and add more veggies or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a vegetarian-friendly alternative.

How do I make homemade pizza dough?

Homemade dough typically requires flour, yeast, water, salt, and olive oil. Mix, knead, and let it rise for 1-2 hours before stretching out. Many recipes are available online if you want to give it a try.

Can I prepare this pizza ahead of time?

You can assemble the pizza up to the baking step and refrigerate it for a few hours before baking. Add the burrata and prosciutto after baking just before serving for the best texture.
