This Prosciutto Burrata Pizza with Fig Jam is the perfect summertime gluten-free pizza that’s made with just a few simple and fresh ingredients. No heavy sauces, just olive oil
Homemade Prosciutto Burrata Fig Jam Pizza
This is one of my all-time favorite pizza recipes – especially for dining al fresco in the summertime! With a simple olive oil base, there’s no need for any sauce with this pizza. The burrata cheese melts down and forms the “sauce.” Then pair that with the fresh arugula, prosciutto, and a drizzle of fig jam, and you have one delicious pizza!
What is burrata cheese?
Burrata is my new favorite cheese, hands down perfection on a slice of pizza. Have you ever tried burrata? Burrata is a fresh Italian buffalo milk cheese that is made with both mozzarella and cream. It comes in the shape of a softball, with an outer shell of solid mozzarella and the inside is fresh cream and curds similar to the texture of ricotta cheese. If you’re a cheese lover like me, your mouth is probably watering just thinking about it. It is the perfect cheese for a pizza lover’s dream.
Ingredients needed for prosciutto burrata pizza
To make this homemade prosciutto burrata pizza with fig jam, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 gluten-free naan or flatbread (If you cannot find in-store, I recommend this 4-Ingredient Gluten-free Dough Flatbread.)
- 1 oz 8 oz. ball of burrata cheese
- 3-4 oz package of prosciutto (about 8 slices)
- 2 cups fresh arugula
- 2 Tbsp fig jam
- 1 fresh lemon
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper for seasoning
How to make prosciutto burrata pizza with fig jam
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- **If you are making homemade gluten-free flatbreads, make them first.
- Place the naan or flatbread onto a flat baking sheet. Brush the olive oil across both naan flatbreads. Season with sea salt and pepper.
- Take the ball of burrata cheese and start tearing off small sections, placing them sporadically across both crusts. Lay the prosciutto slices across the burrata cheese, adding about 4 slices to each naan flatbread.
- Drizzle 1 Tbsp. of the fig jam across each naan flatbread.
- Place the pizzas in the oven and bake for 6 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
- Remove from oven, top with fresh arugula and squeeze one half of a fresh lemon across each pizza. Serve immediately.
Recipe FAQs
While I suggest using burrata if possible with this recipe, a substitute would be fresh mozzarella. It won’t be quite as creamy but will still work.
Naan is a specific type of flatbread, but there are more flatbread variations outside of just the Indian naan bread.
To reheat this pizza, simply pop it back into the oven at 400 degrees F. for about 5-7 minutes. This will wilt the arugula, so to avoid this you could remove the previous arugula prior to reheating and then add on fresh arugula when ready to eat.
