Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your wood-fired oven or conventional oven to 500°F with a pizza stone inside.
Step 2: Slice 1 large red bell pepper and 1 large yellow bell pepper into 1/2-inch strips. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast on a baking sheet for 10 minutes until skin blisters and peppers soften.
Step 3: Roll out 1 lb pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a pizza peel dusted with flour.
Step 4: Spread 1/2 cup tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle 6 oz shredded mozzarella evenly on top.
Step 5: Arrange the roasted pepper strips over the cheese. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.
Step 6: Slide pizza onto the hot stone and bake for 8-10 minutes until crust is blistered and cheese melted.
Step 7: Remove pizza from oven, tear 6 oz burrata cheese into chunks and scatter over the hot pizza. Season with freshly ground black pepper and salt.
Step 8: Garnish with 10 fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
