Ingredients:

For the Pizza Dough (or store-bought dough):

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp instant dry yeast
2/3 cup warm water
1 tbsp olive oil
For the Toppings:

1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
1/2 cup tomato sauce (optional for a classic base, or you can skip this for a more minimalistic pizza)
8 oz fresh burrata cheese
4 slices prosciutto
2 tbsp honey (for drizzling)
Fresh arugula (for garnish)
Fresh cracked black pepper (optional)
Salt, to taste

Instructions:

“Cooking is at once child’s play and adult joy. And cooking done with care is an act of love.” — Craig Claiborne

Make the Dough (or use store-bought):

In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in the warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a larger bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Stir until a dough forms, then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. If using store-bought dough, skip this step.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size. If you’re short on time, you can skip this rise and proceed with the shaping.
Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven as it heats up.
Prepare the Pizza Base:

Once the dough has risen, roll it out into your desired shape (round or rectangular) on a lightly floured surface. If using a pizza stone, transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush the dough with olive oil. If you’re using tomato sauce, spread a thin layer over the dough, but feel free to skip it for a more minimalist approach.
Assemble the Pizza:

Tear the burrata cheese into chunks and scatter it evenly over the pizza dough.
If you’re using prosciutto, arrange the slices on top of the cheese.
Place the pizza in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy and the cheese has melted and started to bubble.
Add Final Touches:

After the pizza is done baking, remove it from the oven and drizzle with honey for a sweet, savory touch. Add a few fresh arugula leaves for a peppery bite and garnish with fresh cracked black pepper and a pinch of salt to taste.
