This Burrata Pizza recipe has fresh tomatoes and parmesan cheese baked on a homemade pizza crust and topped with fresh burrata, arugula, and a balsamic reduction. It is fresh, delicious, and will become your new pizza night staple!
For Oven Method: Preheat a pizza stone in hot oven at 450 degrees F. Roll out dough thinly, to form pizza crust. Add some cornmeal to a pizza peel and place the pizza dough on top. Slide onto pizza stone and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Remove crust from oven and spoon a thin layer of sauce on top. Top with parmesan cheese and a few slices of tomato. Return to oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until crust is crisp and cooked through.
For Pizza Oven: Roll out pizza dough. Sprinkle a pizza peel with cornmeal and flour and place the pizza dough on top. Spread with a thin layer of sauce. Top with parmesan cheese and a few slices of tomato. Use pizza peel to slide the pizza into hot, preheated pizza oven. Rotate gradually, until cooked and crisp on all sides—usually takes about 3 minutes.
Add Final Toppings: Remove pizza from oven. Tear burrata ball into pieces and scatter around the pizza. Top with fresh basil, arugula and a drizzle of balsamic reduction. Add some crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.

Notes
Variations: Add fresh sliced peaches, prosciutto, or pepperoni.Baking Tray: No pizza stone or pizza oven? Use a large baking tray, placed upside down, as a makeshift” pizza stone”. Allow it to preheat and warm up in the oven. Once hot, slide pizza on top to bake.Pizza Dough: My homemade pizza dough recipe will make two large pizzas, or use good quality store-bought dough from Trader Joes, Winco, or Whole Foods—which will also be enough for 2 pizzas.
