Instructions

First, caramelize the shallots:
Add neutral oil to a frying pan and warm over low heat until shimmering. Add the shallots and cook until browned, stirring every once in a while to prevent sticking, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 525 degrees F. Lightly flour your hands and a 14-inch pizza pan, then stretch the dough into a roughly 12 to 14 inch circle to fit the pan.
Assemble the pizza:
Spread olive oil and minced garlic over the dough, leaving about a quarter inch of space around the edges for the crust.
Next, slice the burrata in half and scoop out the creamy cheese from the casing. Dollop this over the dough and gently spread it around. Then, tear the casing into small pieces and add these until the dough is covered with plenty of cheese.
Finally, top with caramelized shallots, parmesan, and sea salt.
Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Let the pizza cool for a minute or two. Then, drizzle with balsamic glaze, slice, and serve.

Notes

Pizza dough: We love to make dough from scratch using recipes from our favorite cookbooks, Mastering Pizza and Flour Water Salt Yeast (check them out if you want to get into making your own pizza dough!), but you can also use store bought dough here.

Oven temperature and baking time: These will vary based on the type of dough you use. If you’re using store-bought, check the packaging for oven temp recommendations. As for timing, always set the timer for a few minutes less than you think it needs so you can keep a close eye on your pizza and prevent the crust from burning.

Serving suggestions: This pizza is a bit lighter, so we recommend serving with a side dish for a more complete meal. Try a salad, roasted potatoes, or even garlic bread! Check out our blog post above for more detailed recommendations.
