Burrata Pizza

Burrata pizza is a deliciously indulgent dish featuring a crispy crust, tangy tomato sauce, and creamy burrata cheese that melts beautifully when added fresh after baking.

Ingredients

For the Dough:

For the Pizza:

  • 1 ball of burrata cheese (about 200g)
  • ½ cup marinara sauce or crushed San Marzano tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh basil leaves (a handful)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: Prosciutto, arugula, or cherry tomatoes

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough (if making from scratch):

  1.  Follow the instructions for your chosen recipe or allow your pre-made dough to proof.

2. Preheat the Oven:

  • Heat up your pizza oven to 350-400°C.

3. Stretch Out the Dough:

  • Stretch out your dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness (about 12 inches in diameter).

4. Assemble the Pizza:

  1. Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  2. Drizzle olive oil over the sauce and sprinkle with dried oregano and red pepper flakes if desired.

5. Bake the Pizza:

  • Use a pizza peel to place your pizza into your pizza oven.
  • Once your pizza is in the oven you will need to turn the pizza every 20-30 seconds.
  • We recommend using a turning peel as it allows you to spin the pizza without having to remove it from your pizza oven.
  • Pizza ovens cook pizza very quickly (usually 60-90 seconds) so make sure you keep an eye on it as it is cooking to prevent it from burning.

6. Add the Burrata:

  1. Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately place the burrata ball in the centre. Use a knife to gently tear it open, allowing the creamy interior to spread across the pizza.
  2. Add fresh basil leaves and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

7. Optional Finishing Touches:

  • For a gourmet touch, top with thinly sliced prosciutto, arugula, or halved cherry tomatoes.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

  • Slice and serve the pizza immediately. The creamy burrata pairs beautifully with the crispy crust and tangy sauce!
