Ingredients
Homemade Pizza Dough (Makes 2 Dough Balls)
- 2 ¾ cups bread flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast 1 packet
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¾ cup hot water plus more, if needed
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
- 2-3 tablespoons 00 flour or cornmeal
Burrata Pizza
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1¼ cups shredded mozzarella
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano optional
- 3 ounces prosciutto about 4-5 slices
- 8 ounces burrata cheese
- 2 handfuls fresh arugula
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 pinch salt to taste, optional
- 1 pinch black pepper to taste, optional
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese to taste, optional
Instructions
Homemade Pizza Dough
- In a stand mixer or food processor, combine flour, yeast and salt until combined.
- Add the oil and mix until the texture resembles sand.
- Meanwhile, heat the water in the microwave — you don’t want it boiling, just on the warmer side. Add the honey and stir until dissolved.
- Add the water in a slow, steady stream. Mix for 2-3 minutes until it forms a ball and the dough is sticky but not sticking to your fingers. If dough is too dry, add another ¼ cup of warm water a little at a time. If it is too sticky, you can add a sprinkle of flour to make it easier to handle.
- Roll out a piece of plastic wrap or use a cutting board. Place the dough on top and flatten it out into a rectangle. Use your fingers to make indentations like you are playing the piano. Fold one side over to the middle, like a letter. Repeat the indentations, then fold over the other third. Cover in plastic wrap or place in a zip-top bag. Set aside for 20 minutes to rise in a warm place.
- Divide the dough into two pieces and roll them into a ball. Wrap in more plastic wrap or place in a zip-top bag. You can use it immediately. If you are saving it for later, you can refrigerate and use within 3 days, or freeze for up to 6 months. Thaw in the fridge the night before you plan to use it.
Burrata Pizza
- Roll out the dough into a thin circle and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Brush dough with olive oil, then sprinkle with mozzarella and oregano. Lay prosciutto slices on top and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese has melted and the crust is golden.
- Tear or slice the burrata and scatter over your hot pizza, letting it melt slightly. Add fresh arugula, drizzle with honey, and season with salt and black pepper.
- Slice whole pizza into 8 slices and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
When making your dough, be sure you don’t use boiling water because it can kill the yeast. The hottest water your tap makes should be fine.
If you do not have bread flour, you can use all purpose flour in its place. The dough may not be as fluffy, but it will still taste great.
