Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your wood-fired oven or pizza stone to 500°F. Dust a pizza peel with 2 tbsp cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Spread 1 cup crushed San Marzano tomatoes in a thin layer over 1 lb stretched pizza dough. Drizzle with 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes evenly.
Step 3: Slide the pizza onto the hot stone or oven surface and bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust is golden and blistered.
Step 4: Remove the pizza and tear 6 oz fresh burrata cheese over the top. Scatter 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves and drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.
Step 5: Serve immediately while the burrata is creamy and the crust crisp.
