Burrata Caprese Pizza Sandwich

Ingredients

• 0.5 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 4 oz burrata cheese (one ball)
• 2 tbsp pesto (basil pesto)
• 0.5 cup tomatoes (sliced or cherry tomatoes, seared)
• 0.5 cup arugula (fresh and peppery)
• 1 tbsp balsamic glaze (for drizzling)
• 1 tsp olive oil (for searing tomatoes)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the pizza dough by stretching it out and baking it until crispy and golden brown.

2. 2

   While the dough is baking, sear the tomatoes in a pan with a little olive oil until softened and slightly charred.

3. 3

   Slice the warm, crispy pizza dough open to create a pocket for the sandwich filling.

4. 4

   Spread a generous layer of pesto inside the dough pocket.

5. 5

   Add the creamy burrata cheese, breaking it open so the center spreads throughout the sandwich.

6. 6

   Layer in the seared tomatoes and a handful of fresh arugula.

7. 7

   Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze before closing the sandwich and serving.

Notes

The source implies a 'pizza sandwich' technique where the dough is baked and then stuffed. Ensure the dough is thin enough to remain crispy but sturdy enough to hold the burrata.
