The Background Story
This pizza has been growing in my head now for some time. It has modified in some ways from my preliminary concept, however that’s what I like a lot about creating recipes. Particularly ones the place I actually let the concept develop over time.
I’ve needed to make a Caesar salad pizza for the longest time. A minimum of just a few months, however most likely since final summer time. The factor that held me again most was that the concept simply wasn’t absolutely developed. I’ve seen a Caesar salad pizza earlier than, and to me, they simply weren’t proper. I didn’t need hen on my pizza and I didn’t wish to simply prime a plain cheese pizza with a caesar salad and name it a day.
So whereas I preferred the preliminary concept, I let it develop over the previous few months. Then lastly this week the only, however bestest pizza got here to thoughts.
Enter the Burrata Caesar Salad Pizza. It’s a lot greater than its title.
Let me let you know the main points
First the dough. I’ve been engaged on a brand new pizza dough recipe, nevertheless it’s not excellent simply but, so I’m directing you to make use of your very favourite dough recipe, and even store-bought. Simply be sure that the dough is at room temperature. This makes it simpler to roll out.
Second, the salad. It’s a Caesar, however not fairly, as a result of I used my go-to tahini Caesar salad dressing, which for my part, is healthier than the basic. I’m not the largest fan of the uncooked egg within the basic Caesar dressing, so that is at all times my go-to. It’s fast to combine up and particularly scrumptious when tossed with the greens.
I at all times make the salad earlier than assembling the pizza base to let it sit a couple of minutes to carry on extra taste.
Subsequent, the pizza
In true Gerard type, I needed this pizza to be a white pizza, which has at all times been my dad’s specialty ever since I used to be a child. For the bottom, you’ll combine up an herb oil with dried basil, oregano, paprika, fennel, and many chili flakes and garlic. This combine is vital to including taste to your pizza. In case you don’t love warmth, simply pull again on the chili flakes.
Now unfold that blend over your dough, then prime with a mixture of fontina and mozzarella cheese. Throw the pizza within the oven and let that cheese soften. Then take away the pizza and add the burrata. Put the pizza again within the oven for only a few minutes to permit the burrata to get a bit of melty. Don’t go away it in too lengthy, you don’t wish to overcook the burrata and dry it out.
As quickly because the pizza comes out of the oven, I prime it with the Caesar salad and an additional dusting of parmesan. Slice, eat whereas heat, and expertise the goodness that’s on this pizza.
It appears fairly easy, however belief me, it truly is one thing particular. I’m full-on obsessive about it and really a lot trying ahead to recreating it tonight on IG tales. It’s the right any evening of the week pizza as a result of though there’s pizza, it’s balanced with loads of salad on prime.
Fairly darn near perfection!
