Burrata Pizza just makes sense!
Burrata Pizza just makes sense!As much as I've always loved fresh mozzarella slices on my margherita pizza, adding Burrata unlocks next level goodness! This Burrata Pizza recipe is one of my go-to pizza recipes; the fresh parmesan, burrata, sliced tomatoes, and arugula just pair together so beautifully and I can't get enough!
Ever since we got an Ooni pizza oven we have pizza night once a week choosing from these pizza recipes, and my easy pizza sauce. – it's worth it! And if you love this burrata, make my Burrata Appetizer and Burrata Salad!
How to make Burrata Pizza:
Roll Out Dough and Spread Sauce: Use a rolling pin to roll out the pizza dough until it's thin. If you're cooking your pizza in the oven, pre-bake the dough on a hot pizza stone, or in a pizza pan at 450°F (230°C) for 4-5 minutes. If you're using a pizza oven, you don't need to pre-bake it. Spoon a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough then top with parmesan cheese and a few slices of tomato.
Bake and Add Toppings: If you are using a pizza stone, bake for 5 minutes, if you're using a pizza oven, gradually rotate it with a pizza peel during cooking until all sides are cooked and crisp (usually about 3 minutes). Transfer to a cooling rack. Tear burrata into small pieces and arrange on burrata on pizza then top with fresh basil, arugula, and drizzle on some balsamic reduction. Serve burrata margherita pizza with crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
