Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 500°F with a pizza stone inside for 45 minutes to mimic a wood-fired oven. Roll out 12 oz of pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle.
Step 2: Brush 2 tbsp olive oil evenly over the dough, then scatter 1/2 cup halved grape tomatoes on top. Slide the pizza onto the hot stone and bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust is golden and blistered.
Step 3: Remove the pizza from the oven, tear 6 oz fresh burrata cheese over the top, then scatter 1 cup packed fresh arugula evenly. Drizzle 1 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar over the arugula and finish with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper before serving.
