Prosciutto and Burrata Pizza

A luxurious pizza featuring prosciutto and creamy burrata, perfect for elevating your weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 oz prosciutto, sliced
  • 8 oz burrata cheese
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it’s foamy and bubbly.
  2. Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture along with the olive oil.
  3. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
  4. Knead the dough: On a floured surface, turn out the dough and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
  5. Let it rise: Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Preheat the oven: About 20 minutes before the dough is done rising, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
  7. Roll out the dough: Once risen, punch it down and roll it out to your desired thickness.
  8. Assemble your pizza: Lay on the prosciutto slices evenly followed by chunks of burrata.
  9. Bake the pizza: Carefully slide your pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes.
  10. Finish with arugula and honey: After baking, top with fresh arugula, drizzle with honey, and season with black pepper.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute burrata with cashew cheese and omit prosciutto. Add roasted veggies for extra flavor.
