Burrata Pizza
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!
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.
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.

Remove pizza from oven. Tear burrata ball into pieces and scatter around the pizza (or serve it whole, in the center of the pizza). Top with fresh basil. Optional, top with arugula and a drizzle of balsamic reduction. Add some crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
8 oz burrata, ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, 1 cup Baby arugula, balsamic reduction, crushed red pepper flakes
One 12-14 inch pizza. ⅓ pizza.
: Add fresh sliced peaches, prosciutto, or pepperoni.
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.
My homemade pizza dough recipe will make two large pizzas. Or, use quality store-bought dough from Trader Joes, Winco, or Whole Foods, which will also be enough for 2 pizzas.
