Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 prepared pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 ball of burrata cheese
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the pizza dough package or recipe instructions.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
  3. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  4. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Scatter the arugula and cherry tomatoes over the sauce.
  6. Tear the burrata cheese into pieces and distribute it evenly over the pizza.
  7. Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil over the toppings and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake according to the dough instructions, typically around 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  10. Serve the pizza hot and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures.

Notes

Preheating your oven properly ensures that the crust cooks evenly and achieves the desired crispness. If using homemade pizza dough, make sure to follow the instructions for proofing and rolling out the dough to achieve the best texture. Feel free to customize your pizza by adding additional toppings such as olives, red onions, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor. For a crispy crust, preheat your baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven before placing the rolled-out dough on it. Add the delicate arugula and burrata cheese after baking the pizza to preserve their freshness and prevent wilting or overcooking. Enjoy!
