Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup unsalted shelled pistachios
  • 2 cups fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 oz burrata cheese
  • 1/2 cup baby arugula
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • Flaky sea salt for garnish

Мethod of preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C), placing a pizza stone inside if you have one. 2. In a food processor, combine pistachios, mint leaves, Parmesan cheese, and garlic. Blend until the mixture is finely chopped. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil until the pesto reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 3. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured pizza peel or baking sheet if you don't have a pizza stone. 4. Spread an even layer of the pistachio mint pesto over the pizza dough, leaving about an inch around the edge for the crust. 5. Tear the burrata cheese into smaller pieces and distribute them evenly over the pesto. 6. Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or bake directly on the baking sheet. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned. 7. Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately top with baby arugula, lemon zest, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. 8. Let the pizza cool for a minute or two before slicing. Serve and enjoy your Pistachio Mint Pesto & Burrata Pizza while it's fresh and warm.
