Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce , (or use pesto sauce)
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 2 tomato or a few small Campari tomatoes, thinly sliced, heirloom
- 8 oz burrata cheese two 4oz balls
- ¼ cup basil sliced, fresh leaves
- 1 cup arugula baby
- Balsamic reduction
- red pepper flakes optional, crushed
Instructions
- 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.
