• 1 ½ cups or 12.8 ounces (364 grams) lukewarm water
• 3 ¼ teaspoons (9.2 grams) active dried yeast or 2 ½ teaspoons (7 grams) instant dried yeast or 2 tablespoons (20 grams) fresh yeast 
• 4 ¼ cups or 21.4 ounces (607 grams) “00” flour, plus extra for dusting

This simple-yet-decadent burrata pizza recipe brings together time-honored flavor combinations.

Burrata is technically a fresh mozzarella, but inside that thin outer layer, the inside is filled with luscious cream and shreds of mozzarella.

While burrata’s great as a post-bake garnish, don’t forget you can serve it on the side for dipping or spreading on pizza crusts, or even use it as a pre-bake base topped with a drizzle of tomato sauce and a scattering of low-moisture mozzarella for a rose-pink and creamy indulgent swirl.

Tip: Be sure to set aside 3 to 4 hours before cooking to prepare the dough and sauce.
