Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Dough
- 2 lb. pizza dough (Perfect for achieving that crispy, golden crust.)
- All-purpose flour (Use for dusting, helping to prevent sticking while rolling.)
Fillings & 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 Pizza Stone: Begin by preheating your oven to 550°F and placing a pizza stone inside to heat up. This ensures the crust will cook evenly and develop a crisp, golden texture.
- Prepare Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough into four 8-ounce balls, each flattened to an 8-inch diameter. Use flour to prevent sticking and achieve the proper shape.
- Bake Crusts: Transfer the rolled dough to the hot pizza stone and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the crusts are puffed and beautifully golden brown.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spread fig preserves or apricot jam evenly on each warm crust. Layer with torn burrata balls, fresh arugula, and prosciutto slices. Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over the top, then season with a pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors.
Notes
- Make sure your pizza stone is thoroughly heated to ensure crispy crusts.
- Use room temperature burrata for easy spreading and melting.
- If you prefer, substitute fig preserves with apricot jam for a slightly different sweetness.
- Handle the arugula gently to maintain its fresh texture.
- These sandwiches are best enjoyed warm for maximum flavor and texture contrast.
