Join me in the kitchen today — quick pizza with burrata and pesto.
- Difficulty: Very easy
- Cost: Very inexpensive
- Preparation time: 10 Minutes
- Portions: 1 Person
- Cooking methods: Stovetop
- Cuisine: Italian
- Seasonality: All seasons
Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups durum wheat flour (or the one you usually use)
- 3.4 fl oz water
- 1 tsp instant baking powder for savory preparations
- Half tsp salt
- 3 tbsp burrata
- 2 tbsp Genovese pesto
- 3.5 oz fiordilatte (provola or mozzarella)
Steps
Changing the flour will change the dough texture; it will be firmer. Using durum wheat flour instead allows you to obtain a soft dough.
Put the flour in a bowl, add the baking powder, the salt and the water little by little, knead until you obtain a smooth dough that is not sticky but soft.
Oil a pan and place the dough, spreading it with your fingers; cook both sides until golden, about ten minutes, turning it and keeping the lid closed.
Then top with the burrata, the pesto and the fiordilatte torn into pieces, cover with the lid and cook a few minutes to let the cheese melt.

– Distribute the pesto with teaspoons to avoid overpowering the pizza’s flavor.
– If you want an even richer version you can add fresh cherry tomatoes or arugula.
– Serve it as soon as it’s cooked to fully enjoy the creaminess of the burrata.

FAQ QUICK PIZZA with BURRATA and pesto ready in 10 minutes
How to make a quick pizza at home?
By mixing simple ingredients in a bowl or with a mixer: flour, salt, instant baking powder and water.
Can I prepare the quick pizza with burrata and pesto in advance?
Better not: this pizza is perfect when freshly made because the burrata remains creamy and the base crispy.
What can I substitute for burrata?
You can use mozzarella, stracciatella or scamorza for a different but still tasty version.
Should pesto be added before or after cooking?
You can add it either before or after cooking, but putting it at the end preserves the basil aroma better.
What can I add to enrich it?
You can add speck, salami or smoked salmon or yellow cherry tomatoes.
Can I use fresh yeast (brewer’s yeast)?
Absolutely yes; of course everything changes: resting times, dough consistency and the pizza itself.
