    Oven Method: Preheat a pizza stone in hot oven to 450 degrees F (230°C). 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 from oven and spread with a thin layer of sauce, then parmesan cheese and tomato slices. Cook for 5 more minutes, or until crust is crisp and cooked through.

    Pizza Oven Method: 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.

  3. 3

    Add Burrata: 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.

Pizza Dough

This recipe, adapted from Roberta’s, the pizza and hipster haute-cuisine utopia in Bushwick, Brooklyn, provides a delicate, extraordinarily flavorful dough that will last in the refrigerator for up to a week. It rewards close attention to weight rather than volume in the matter of the ingredients, and asks for a mixture of finely ground Italian pizza flour (designated “00” on the bags and available in some supermarkets, many specialty groceries and always online) and regular all-purpose flour. As ever with breads, rise time will depend on the temperature and humidity of your kitchen and refrigerator.

About this Recipe

Craving a gourmet pizza night at home without the fuss? This homemade Burrata Pizza recipe is your answer, delivering restaurant-quality flavors to your table with stunning simplicity.

What makes this burrata pizza truly special is its celebration of fresh, high-quality ingredients. The magic happens when the creamy, delicate burrata melts into the savory pizza sauce and sharp Parmesan, creating an irresistible richness. Paired with bright, thinly sliced heirloom or Campari tomatoes, and finished with a flourish of fresh basil and an optional balsamic reduction, every bite is a balanced explosion of flavors and textures that feels gourmet yet effortless.

Prepare for an extraordinary pizza experience where contrasting elements unite beautifully. You'll savor a crisp crust providing the perfect foundation for a symphony of fresh tastes. The vibrant acidity of ripe tomatoes cuts through the luxurious richness of the burrata, which boasts an incredibly soft, creamy interior. Fresh basil offers aromatic sweetness, while baby arugula lends a delightful peppery bite. The optional balsamic reduction ties everything together with a sophisticated sweet-tart glaze, making this main course an impressive, flavor-packed dish that’s remarkably quick to prepare.

This versatile burrata pizza recipe invites personalization. Instead of traditional pizza sauce, consider a bright pesto sauce for an herbaceous twist. For those who enjoy a little heat, a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes adds a welcome zing. While baby arugula adds a fresh, peppery note, it's entirely optional; feel free to adjust based on your preference or what you have on hand.

This delightful burrata pizza is perfect for a special weeknight dinner, entertaining friends, or your next pizza night. Serve it alongside a simple green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
