What is Burrata cheese?

Burrata cheese is a mix of mozzarella and cream and it’s become very popular in the last year or so.

Do I put burrata on pizza before or after cooking?

I put the burrata cheese on before cooking in this recipe.

Can I substitute anything for the shallot?

The flavor of shallot is similar to a red onion but sweeter and less tart. Therefore, you can substitute red onions or pickled red onions.

How do I cut basil ribbons?

Make basil ribbons by laying about 10 leaves of basil on a cutting board. Make a pile, with the largest leaf at the bottom. Next, roll the leaves into a log. Slice the log thinly into strips. Unroll and garnish with the basil ribbons.

QUICK BURRATA PIZZA RECIPE TIPS

  • Let dough come to room temp- this helps it to more easily be formed
  • Brust the crust with olive oil and season for a deliciously crispy golden crust
  • Make sure the oven is already to temp before cooking
  • Lightly spray a pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray
  • Be sure to poke the center of the dough with a fork as this will prevent bubbles from forming in the dough
