Makes: 12-inch pizza
Ingredients
- 1 one-pound pizza dough
- ⅓ cup pesto sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 8 ounces burrata cheese
- Pinch flake salt
Instructions
- If using, set pizza stones or pizza steels into the center of the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees and if time allows, preheat for at least an hour.
- Stretch pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Dock the center of the dough by poking the dough all over with the tines of a fork multiple times.
- Bake until the dough is golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Top with pesto and ake for 2 more minutes to warm the pesto.
- While the pizza cooks, cook the garlic and red pepper oil.
- Place red pepper flakes into a small heat-proof bowl.
- Place garlic and olive oil into a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until garlic is golden brown, about 3 minutes, stirring often.
- Pour the hot garlic and olive oil over red pepper flakes and stir to combine. Season with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- Once the pizza is done, tear the burrata into chunks and place them evenly on the pizza.
- Top with basil leaves and drizzle with the garlic chili oil.
- If you like, sprinkle with a pinch of flake salt and serve immediately.
