Pizza with burrata, prosciutto and rocket 



Pizza with topping: here's how to cook it to make it as good as in a pizzeria. Fresh, light and tasty, perfect to enjoy: pizza with raw burrata and arugula, a triumph of flavors. Burrata is a fresh cheese, made from cow's milk, with a stretched curd, the result of the skillful Apulian cheese-making art. It has a rounded shape with an external appearance similar to mozzarella, a round bag of spun pasta formed strictly by hand, which encloses a soft and frayed mass immersed in cream, called stracciatella (shredded by hand); A balance of flavors with sweet, savory and sour notes, in an aromatic concert of fresh and cooked milk, butter and cream: irresistible! A very tasty recipe, it is prepared at home starting from the dough, which is left to rise, then rolled out into 4 discs, seasoned with tomato and pecorino cheese, and baked in the domestic oven, adding rocket, prosciutto and burrata when it comes out of the oven; a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil completes the pizza with burrata, prosciutto and rocket.
