Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the dough up to 24 hours in advance . Simply: Refrigerate: After kneading, place the dough in an airtight container and store it in the fridge. Bring to room temp: Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before stretching and baking.

What can I use instead of burrata?

If you can’t find burrata, try: Fresh mozzarella – Similar but slightly firmer. Ricotta cheese – Offers a creamy, slightly sweet alternative. Stracciatella cheese – The creamy inside of burrata, available separately!

Can I use store-bought pizza dough?

Absolutely! If you're short on time, grab a high-quality store-bought dough and follow the same stretching and baking instructions.

What’s the best way to get a crispy crust?

Use a pizza stone or perforated pizza pan – They allow air to circulate for a crispier base. Preheat the oven fully – Bake at 425°F (220°C) or higher for the best results. Brush the dough with herbed oil – This helps create a flavorful, golden-brown crust.

Can I add more toppings?

Of course! This pizza is versatile. Try: Fresh figs or caramelized onions – For a sweet contrast. Crushed walnuts or pine nuts – Adds crunch and depth. Balsamic glaze drizzle – Enhances the sweet-savory balance.

How do I store and reheat leftovers?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days . Reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes for a crispier crust. Avoid microwaving – It makes the crust soft and chewy.

Can I make this pizza gluten-free?

Yes! Simply swap the all-purpose flour for a 1:1 gluten-free blend or use a gluten-free pizza crust from the store.

What wine pairs well with this pizza? 🍷

Prosecco – The light bubbles cut through the richness. Pinot Grigio – A crisp white that complements the burrata. Chianti or Pinot Noir – Smooth, medium-bodied reds that pair beautifully with prosciutto.
