Decadent Burrata Pizza

This simple-yet-decadent burrata pizza recipe brings together time-honoured flavour combinations. Fragrant fresh basil; sweet, tart tomatoes; salty, rich prosciutto; and a post-bake finish with ultra-creamy burrata stepping in instead of mozzarella. 

Burrata is technically a fresh mozzarella, but inside that thin outer layer, the inside is filled with luscious cream and shreds of mozzarella. Because of its higher fat content, you’ll get a richer, more buttery-tasting experience. There’s also the fun of cutting into the ball and watching the creamy shreds spill out and spread over the pizza. Top it with a drizzle of delicate olive oil and fragrant basil leaves and you’ve got yourself a delicious, flavourful pizza.

While burrata’s great as a post-bake garnish, don’t forget you can serve it on the side for dipping or spreading on pizza crusts, or even use it as a pre-bake base topped with a drizzle of tomato sauce and a scattering of low-moisture mozzarella for a rose-pink and creamy indulgent swirl.

Tip: Be sure to set aside 3 to 4 hours before cooking to prepare the dough and sauce. Not sure where to start? Try our Classic Pizza Dough and Classic Pizza Sauce for instructions, ingredients, tips and more!
