Burrata Pizza with Salami, Olives, and Capers

A super quick burrata pizza made with a simple flatbread dough (no yeast or waiting around) topped with delicious salami, olives, and capers.

I don't like pizza....said no one, ever.  I'm pretty sure I could live on it for the rest of my life and not get bored and this burrata pizza would have to be one of my favourites. I use a simple flatbread dough that's so easy to whip up and can be used straight away so there's no need to wait for the dough to rise for hours beforehand making it perfect for a quick weeknight meal.

Before I moved to Italy I had never tried burrata before and my Italian friends couldn't believe it! Omg you need this in your life was pretty much how it translated, so off I went a bought a ball of burrata.

It looks like a ball of mozzarella but when you touch it, it feels like a soft and delicate balloon of cheese. The outer layer is mozzarella and the inside is filled with stracciatella (an Italian cheese similar to mozzarella) and cream making it rich, buttery and incredibly delicious.

To complement the rich, creamy burrata cheese I opted for salty Italian salami, black olives, and capers for this pizza topping and it works perfectly. The flatbread dough is crispy, not crunchy and would trick anyone into thinking it was the real deal.

To make the dough, I mix 00' flour and warm water with a pinch of salt. Once the dough starts to come together I add 3 tablespoon of olive oil. An extra dusting of flour is added and then I knead the dough for around 1-2 minutes then shape into a ball.

The ball of dough is cut in half, I then flatten into a round, flat circle (doesn't have to be perfect) and then roll it out into a pizza base big enough to fit a large, flat baking tray. Top with tomato passata, salami, olives, capers and burrata and bake in the oven for around 7-8 minutes. For a more creamy texture add the burrata after the pizza comes out the oven, I love to eat this pizza both ways they are equally as delicious.

Hope you enjoy this easy pizza recipe, the more you make the dough the easier it will become and you'll soon be a pizza making expert whipping up delicious and impressive looking pizzas any night of the week.

Knead on a lightly floured work surface for 1-2 minutes, it should be soft but not sticky.
