Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided

Toppings

  • 1/3 cup red onion, sliced
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 ball burrata cheese
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 1/4 cup pistachios

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the pizza evenly.
  2. Prepare Dough: Using your hands or a rolling pin, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough onto a large baking sheet and drizzle it evenly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil; set aside to prepare toppings.
  3. Sauté Onions: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onions and cook until they become translucent and slightly softened. Transfer the cooked onions evenly over the prepared pizza dough.
  4. Add Cheeses: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough and onions. Then, tear or place the whole ball of burrata cheese on top for a creamy texture.
  5. Bake Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the crust to bake through.
  6. Add Greens and Nuts: Remove the pizza from the oven and scatter the fresh arugula and pistachios over the top. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 8 minutes to lightly wilt the arugula and toast the pistachios.
  7. Serve: Take the pizza out of the oven, slice it into portions, and enjoy this sophisticated white pizza while warm.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, you can pre-bake the dough for 5-7 minutes before adding toppings.
  • Use fresh burrata for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • Toast the pistachios slightly in a dry pan beforehand for extra crunch and flavor if desired.
  • Substitute arugula with baby spinach or fresh basil for a different herbaceous note.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, drizzle some chili oil after baking.
