Introduction

This Prosciutto and Honey Burrata Pizza combines creamy burrata cheese with salty prosciutto and a touch of sweet honey for a perfect balance of flavors. It’s a simple yet elegant homemade pizza that’s sure to impress your family and friends.

A round pizza with a golden-brown crust sits on a wooden board, topped with thin slices of reddish-brown cured meat evenly spread across the surface. There are several white dollops of creamy cheese melting among the meat, and fresh green arugula leaves scattered on top, adding a pop of color. The pizza looks slightly glossy with a drizzle of honey in a glass jar nearby, and a woman's hand holding a wooden spoon is blurred in the background. The setting has a white marbled texture surface beneath the board. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 fresh pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
Olive oil, for brushing
Sea salt, to taste
Cracked black pepper, to taste
8 oz burrata cheese, torn into pieces
4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
2 tbsp high-quality honey
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). On a floured surface, roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness, then transfer it carefully to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone.
Step 2: Lightly brush the edges of the dough with olive oil to help them become golden and crisp during baking.
Step 3: Bake the dough for 8 to 10 minutes, until it starts to set and becomes firm but is not browned. This creates the perfect base for the toppings.
Step 4: Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Spread torn pieces of burrata evenly over the crust, then layer the thin slices of prosciutto on top, making sure each slice has both cheese and meat.
Step 5: Drizzle the honey generously over the pizza. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves and season with sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste.
Step 6: For a warm burrata, return the pizza to the oven for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Alternatively, serve immediately to enjoy the cheese fresh and creamy.

Tips & Variations

Use a preheated pizza stone for a crispier crust.
Substitute prosciutto with thinly sliced speck or jamón serrano for a different flavor profile.
Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a subtle spicy kick.
Try drizzling aged balsamic vinegar instead of honey for a tangy twist.

Storage

Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to maintain the crust’s crispness and keep the burrata creamy.

How to Serve

A round pizza with a golden-brown crust rests on a wooden board placed over a white marbled surface. The pizza has one visible layer of melted cheese with an uneven texture, topped with thin slices of reddish-brown prosciutto arranged in a scattered pattern. Bright green fresh arugula leaves are spread on top, adding contrast in color. The cheese appears creamy white with some melted edges. A woman's hand holding a small wooden utensil is visible in the upper left corner, hovering over a bowl of dark reddish sauce. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen pizza dough for this recipe?

Yes, frozen pizza dough works well. Just thaw it completely according to package instructions before rolling it out.

Is it necessary to bake the crust before adding toppings?

Partially baking the crust helps ensure it becomes firm and prevents it from becoming soggy when the toppings are added, especially with soft cheese like burrata.
