Ingredients for Burrata 3 Cheese Prosciutto Peach Pizza
- Pizza dough (1 pound) – Gives you a chewy, crisp crust; store-bought dough is great here, or use homemade if that is your thing.
- Whole milk ricotta (3/4 cup) – Adds creamy richness and a soft, fluffy layer; whipped cottage cheese can stand in for some of it if you want more protein.
- Shredded mozzarella (1 cup) – Gives you that melty cheese pull; low-moisture mozzarella browns better than fresh.
- Finely grated Parmesan (1/3 cup) – Adds salty depth and nutty flavor; Pecorino Romano is a sharper swap.
- Ripe peaches (2 medium) – Bring juicy sweetness and a summery feel; nectarines are an easy swap.
- turkey prosciutto-style slices (3 to 4 ounces) – Adds a savory, salty contrast; turkey pepperoni-style strips can work if that is easier to find.
- Olive oil (1 tablespoon) – Helps the crust brown and keeps the toppings glossy.
- Fresh basil (1/4 cup) – Adds bright flavor at the end; baby arugula is another tasty fresh finish.
- Honey or hot honey (1 to 2 teaspoons, optional) – Balances the salty cheese and gives a little shine; maple syrup works for a different sweet note.
- Kosher salt and black pepper – Help season the creamy cheese layer so the pizza does not taste flat.
- Burrata cheese (1 ball, about 4 ounces) – Torn over the hot pizza for a creamy finish; fresh mozzarella is the closest swap.
Burrata 3 Cheese Prosciutto Peach Pizza Recipe
- 1. Preheat and prep. Heat your oven to 475°F with a pizza stone, steel, or heavy sheet pan inside if you have one. Pat the burrata dry and let it sit at room temperature while you make the pizza so it stays creamy instead of cold in the center.
- 2. Assemble the base. Stretch the dough into a 12-inch round. Spread the ricotta, then top with mozzarella, Parmesan, peach slices, and thin ribbons of turkey prosciutto-style slices. A light hand works best here because the burrata goes on later.
- 3. Bake until bubbling. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until the crust is golden and the peaches are tender and glossy. The cheese should be bubbling and lightly browned in spots.
- 4. Finish with burrata. Tear the burrata over the hot pizza, then add basil and a small drizzle of honey or chili-infused honey if you like. Rest for 2 minutes before slicing so the creamy topping settles into all the warm nooks.
Tips for Perfect Burrata 3 Cheese Prosciutto Peach Pizza
- Use ripe but firm peaches so they soften nicely without flooding the crust.
- Pat very juicy peaches dry with a paper towel before topping the pizza.
- Preheat your oven fully so the crust browns fast and stays crisp.
- Use low-moisture mozzarella for the best melt without extra water.
- Let the pizza rest for 1 to 3 minutes before slicing so the cheese does not slide off.
- Finish with basil after baking so it stays bright and fresh.
Variations & Substitutions
- Swap the peaches for nectarines if that is what you have.
- Use a white whole wheat dough for a slightly nuttier crust.
- Add red pepper flakes for more heat, especially if you love hot honey.
- Try goat cheese in place of some ricotta for a tangier bite.
- Make it lighter by using part-skim mozzarella and a thinner layer of ricotta.
- Turn leftovers into lunch by reheating slices and serving them with a simple arugula salad.
- For a lazy version, use prebaked flatbread or naan and cut the baking time down.
- Want a fuller meal? Serve it with grilled vegetables or a crisp green salad.
Storing & Reheating
Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 375°F oven for 6 to 8 minutes or in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until the bottom crisps again and the cheese is warm. I do not love microwaving this one because the crust softens, but it still works in a pinch.
You can freeze baked slices for up to 1 month. Wrap each slice tightly, then thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating. For make-ahead prep, slice the peaches and mix the ricotta layer a few hours in advance, then assemble and bake when you are ready.
Serving Suggestions & Pairings
- Serve with a peppery arugula salad for a fresh contrast.
- Add roasted vegetables for a fuller weeknight dinner.
- Pair with a tomato salad when peaches are in season.
- Cut into smaller squares for parties, brunch tables, or game nights.
- Pack leftovers for meal prep lunches with fruit and greens on the side.
