Recipe Notes

Tips for Perfect Pizza

  1. Make sure your oven is fully preheated before you pop the pizza in.
  2. Start with your choice of Pizza dough, choose from Pizza Dough Recipe or No Knead Pizza Dough.
  3. Make the white sauce--which you'll find the recipe for in this Mushroom Pizza.
  4. Use as little or as much of it as you like. Alternatively, you can make just a garlic olive oil mix.
  5. Place the pizza on a hot pizza stone or directly on the rack for best results. It will bake in 8-10 minutes.
  6. Use a pizza peel to remove the pizza from the oven.
  7. For an absolutely perfect crust, preheat your oven to the highest setting possible, and place a pizza stone or a rimless baking sheet, or an inverted baking sheet on the middle rack of your oven. (For more details and tips on making pizza dough and adjusting the crust to fit your own preference, you can read the no-knead pizza dough recipe post).
  8. Burrata cheese is best added towards the end once the pizza has baked so the cheese can gently blend in the pizza.
  9. This applies to the Burrata Pasta too! It's best not to cook burrata as it looses it's texture which is once of it's main characteristics.
  10. Finishing off with Balsamic, some pomegranate arils along with the arugula adds a salad component to the pizza which is amazing!

Can you use burrata instead of mozzarella on pizza?

Yes. If your recipe calls for fresh mozzarella, you can substitute fresh burrata instead. They are very similar, but the burrata is a softer cheese.

When should I add burrata cheese to pizza?

This cheese should be added after the pizza comes out of the oven so that it doesn't spread and lose all appeal in the oven.
