What You’ll Need

- 100g tomato passata
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 50g part-skim shredded mozzarella
- 40g prosciutto di Parma, thinly sliced
- 125g fresh burrata cheese
- 1 tbsp hot honey

Step-by-Step Directions

- Spread the tomato passata evenly across the dough, leaving a 1cm margin for the crust.
- Distribute the dried oregano and shredded mozzarella over the sauce.
- Transfer the dough to the preheated stone and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are charred and the cheese has melted.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately layer the prosciutto slices across the surface.
- Place the burrata ball in the center of the pizza and carefully tear it open to allow the stracciatella to flow.
- Garnish with fresh arugula.
- Apply a uniform drizzle of hot honey and balsamic glaze over the entire pizza.

Best Ways to Enjoy It
Place your pizza on a wooden board for a rustic look. Pair it with a chilled glass of sparkling water. A simple lemon-dressed side salad balances the rich burrata beautifully. This is the ultimate meal for a relaxed spring dinner. Every bite is a mix of silky cheese and spicy honey.
Make-Ahead Advice
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They will stay fresh for up to two days. Reheat your slices in a dry skillet for the best crunch. Avoid the microwave to keep the crust from getting soggy. The burrata is best enjoyed immediately for the creamiest texture.
Tips for Best Results
- Preheat your pizza stone for at least thirty minutes.
- Don’t skip the balsamic glaze for that zesty finish.
- Avoid using too much sauce to prevent a soggy middle.
- Prepare your dough ahead of time to save precious minutes.
- Use fresh arugula for a bright, peppery crunch.
- Drizzle the hot honey at the very last second.
Easy Swaps
- Try a gluten-free flour blend for a sensitive stomach.
- Add sliced peaches during the summer for a fruity twist.
- Use red pepper flakes if you lack hot honey.
- Swap arugula for fresh basil for a classic herb taste.
Common Questions
Can I make the dough ahead?
Yes, you can store the dough in the fridge. Just wrap it tightly in plastic for up to two days. Let it reach room temperature before you roll it out.
Is it family-friendly?
Absolutely, kids usually love the mild mozzarella and sweet honey. You can leave the arugula off for pickier eaters. It is a great way to sneak in extra protein.
What if I don’t have a pizza stone?
You can use an inverted baking sheet instead. Just make sure it gets very hot before adding the dough. This helps create that signature charred crust.
I hope this vibrant pizza brings some joy to your kitchen this season. It is the perfect excuse to slow down and enjoy a fresh meal. Happy cooking!
