Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Dough and Base
- 2 lb. pizza dough (Perfect for achieving that crispy, golden crust.)
- All-purpose flour (Use for dusting, helping to prevent sticking while rolling.)
Fillings and Toppings
- 12 Tbsp. fig preserves or apricot jam (Adds a delightful sweetness.)
- 4 oz. burrata balls (The creamy center melts into the warm bread.)
- 1 cup arugula (Provides a fresh, peppery crunch.)
- 12 slices prosciutto (Torn for easy layering.)
- 8 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil (Enhances flavor.)
- Kosher salt (Just a pinch for elevating flavors.)
- Freshly ground black pepper (Sprinkle for a touch of warmth and spice.)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Stone: Preheat your oven to 550°F and place a pizza stone inside to warm up. This ensures a hot surface for baking the dough evenly and creating a crispy crust.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out four 8-ounce dough balls into 8-inch diameter circles. The flour prevents sticking and makes the dough easier to shape.
- Bake the Crusts: Place the rolled dough onto the heated pizza stone and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the crusts are puffed up and golden brown.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Once baked, spread fig preserves or apricot jam evenly over each crust, then top with burrata balls, fresh arugula, and torn prosciutto slices. Drizzle each with extra-virgin olive oil, and finish with a pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Notes
- Make sure your oven is fully preheated with the pizza stone inside for the best crust texture.
- You can substitute fig preserves with apricot jam if preferred.
- For easier assembly, tear the prosciutto into smaller pieces before layering.
- Serve immediately while the crust is still warm to enjoy the melted burrata.
