Ingredients
  

Sauce

  • 2 Roma tomatoes diced
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • 3 tbsp basil fresh and chopped

Other

  • 1 pizza dough homemade or store-bought
  • 1 ball Burrata Cheese fresh

Instructions
 

Make the Sauce

  • Place a saucepot over medium heat.
  • Add the Olive oil, shallot, and garlic into the hot pot. Stir for about 60 seconds.
  • Add the tomatoes and stir occasionally until they are softened. It should take about 2 minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste. Then Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. If the sauce is still too thick, feel free to add some water.
  • Bring to a simmer and stir occasionally until sauce slightly thickens, It usually take about 2 minutes. Let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes or until the temperature sauce is not to warm.

Assemble and Bake the Pizzas

  • To prepare the dough, press the dough ball into a flat disk on a lightly floured wooden pizza peel (or counter). Using your fingers, carefully, press the dough out into a 12-inch circle.
  • For cooking, I'm using a Pizza Oven but feel free to use any other type of oven.
  • Start your Pizza Oven and heat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. (same temperature as a regular oven)
  • Spread a generous quantity of pizza sauce all around the dough. Wait to add the burrata and Prosciutto. That delicious part is coming shortly.
  • Gently slide your pie in your oven and bake for about 5 minutes for a pizza oven or 12-15 minutes for a standard oven.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle the creamy burrata over the top in the center of your pie. Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for 2 more minutes. At this point, the burrata will be melty and hot.
  • Remove the pizza from your oven and top with the Lucious Prosciutto Crudo. Spread the melted cheese gloriousness all over the pie, add olive oil and fresh basil. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
