6 ounces burrata cheese for toppings
2 handfuls arugula for toppings
Juice of 1/2 lemon for toppings

Instructions
1-Getting Started with Dough: Begin in a large bowl by whisking together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 envelope of yeast, 1 1/2 teaspoons of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add 2/3 cup of warm water and 3 tablespoons of olive oil, stirring with a wooden spoon until the dough feels very wet. Gradually mix in another cup of all-purpose flour until it turns shaggy, then knead on a floured surface for about one minute, adding up to 1/4 cup more flour if needed to keep it from sticking.
2-Baking and Topping: Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest for 10 minutes to make shaping easier. In a small dish, mix 3 tablespoons of olive oil with 2 minced cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon of fresh thyme. Preheat your oven to 425°F and place the dough on floured parchment paper on a pizza pan. Press it into a 12-13 inch circle with thicker edges, brush with the herbed oil, and layer on 2 ounces of prosciutto.
3-Baking and Topping: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until puffed and golden, then top with torn chunks of 6 ounces burrata cheese. In another bowl, toss 2 handfuls of arugula with the juice of 1/2 lemon, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, a pinch of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper, and scatter it over the pizza. Finally, drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey before serving.
4-First Step: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a hot environment that will bake the pizza to a crisp texture.
5-Second Step: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to the desired thickness, ensuring even cooking; for gluten-free options, handle gently to maintain structure.
6-Third Step: Brush the dough lightly with olive oil to promote a golden crust.
7-Fourth Step: Add torn pieces of burrata evenly over the dough, spacing to allow melting.
8-Fifth Step: Arrange the prosciutto slices over the cheese; for vegan diets, substitute with tempeh or plant-based slices.
9-Sixth Step: Bake the pizza on a preheated stone or baking tray for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is crisp and the cheese is bubbly.
10-Seventh Step: Remove the pizza from the oven, drizzle honey evenly over the top, and sprinkle with fresh arugula.
11-Final Step: Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, slice, and serve immediately.
