Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- ¾ cup warm water
- ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast (or half of a packet)
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Pizza Toppings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 oz burrata cheese
- 1 ripe peach, sliced
- 6 slices prosciutto
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
Instructions
Make The Pizza Dough
- Combine the warm water, yeast and sugar in a small bowl. Put the bowl in a warm, not hot or cool, place until the yeast is bubbling and aromatic, at least 10 minutes.
- In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour, salt, olive oil and the yeast mixture on low speed until the dough has come together. Increase speed to medium/high and continue to knead for 8-10 minutes on a medium speed until it becomes smooth and forms a ball on the hook.
- Coat the inside of a large bowl lightly with olive oil and transfer the dough to the bowl. Cover it with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and put it in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Assemble The Pizza
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. If using a a pizza stone, place into the oven as it preheats. If using a large sheet pan, line with parchment paper, set aside.
- Punch the dough down. Drizzle the dough with olive oil, turn the dough over to coat all sides. Working on a clean surface, begin stretching and pulling the dough into a rectangle or circle (your preference). Keep stretching the dough until you get a 14-inch diameter circle or a 6×14 rectangle, transfer to baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
- Layer pizza dough with torn burrata cheese pieces, sliced peach, and prosciutto slices. Sprinkle with salt. Place into oven and bake for 12-16 minutes or until the edges of dough are golden.
- Once it's done, drizzle with balsamic glaze, slice, and serve.
