recipe for a ham and bacon pizza with olives, pecorino cheese, cherry tomatoes, and burrata:
Ingredients:
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Olive oil for brushing
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup shredded pecorino cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 200g ham, sliced
- 200g bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 burrata cheese, torn into pieces
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended for your pizza dough.
- Prepare the pizza dough: If you’re using store-bought dough, follow the package instructions for any pre-baking or preparation. If you’re using homemade dough, roll it out onto a floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Assemble the pizza: Place the rolled-out dough on a pizza stone or a baking sheet. Brush the surface with olive oil. Spread an even layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle the shredded pecorino cheese evenly over the sauce. Distribute the sliced black olives, cherry tomato halves, ham slices, and crumbled bacon over the pizza.
- Bake: Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake according to the dough instructions or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish with burrata and basil: Once out of the oven, place torn pieces of burrata on top of the hot pizza. The heat from the pizza will slightly melt the burrata. Sprinkle with fresh basil leaves, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious ham and bacon pizza with olives, pecorino cheese, cherry tomatoes, and burrata!
