Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Base
- 2 lb. pizza dough
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
Fillings and Toppings
- 12 Tbsp. fig preserves or apricot jam
- 4 oz. burrata balls
- 1 cup arugula
- 12 slices prosciutto, torn
- 8 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pizza Stone: Set your oven to 550°F and place a pizza stone inside to heat thoroughly, ensuring a crisp and evenly baked crust.
- Roll Out Dough: Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal balls, each weighing 8 ounces. On a floured surface, roll each ball into an 8-inch diameter circle to create individual pizza bases.
- Bake the Crusts: Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the preheated pizza stone and bake for about 10 minutes or until the crusts are puffed up and golden brown, indicating a perfect crispy texture.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Remove the baked crusts from the oven. Spread each crust evenly with fig preserves or apricot jam, then top with creamy burrata pieces, fresh arugula, and torn prosciutto slices. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and finish with a sprinkle of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper for balanced flavor.
Notes
- For best results, use a pizza stone to mimic a wood-fired oven’s high, even heat.
- Warm the jam slightly if it’s too thick for easier spreading.
- Burrata can be delicate; add it gently to preserve its creamy texture.
- Use fresh arugula for optimal peppery crunch and freshness.
- Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the contrast between warm crust and cool fillings.
