A fresh and delicious morsel of a pizza with creamy burrata cheese, a little spinach and a drizzle of olive oil. This recipe uses one-twelfth of my Olive Oil Pizza Crust recipe. I use the rest of the dough to make other pizzas for my family. If you are feeding just yourself or a smaller crowd, you can make a full batch of dough, divide it into twelfths and freeze each ball separately.
I love making creative little pizzas for myself and my husband during our weekly “pizza movie night”. Our kids always prefer plan cheese & tomato, but it’s become ritual for my husband and I to have a special “date night” while assembling our own pizzas. We talk about our week, sip wine, eat cheese and olives, and generally just unwind.
I’ve been meaning to post all my “special” pizza recipes, and finally, I’m able to fit it into my workflow. This Pesto & Buratta Pizza topped with spinach was fresh and very fitting for spring.
