• Red pepper flakes
• 1 cup arugula
• Salt and pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

For the pizza dough:

1. In a large bowl, combine yeast, warm water, olive oil, and honey. Mix with a spoon, then let sit for 10 minutes, until foamy. Add in 2 1/2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt, stir well until the dough starts to come together, but is still a little sticky. Using your hands, form the dough into a ball and add in the remaining 1/2 cup of flour. Knead the dough on a floured surface for a few minutes.
2. Rub the same bowl with a little bit of olive oil and place the dough inside the bowl, turning to coat all sides with the oil. Cover the bowl with a towel and let sit in a warm place for 1- 1 1/2 hours to rise.
3. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F, or if you're using a pizza stone, preheat to 500 degrees F.

Top with the mozzarella slices and break the burrata into crumbles onto the crust as well. Put the crust back into the oven and bake for 5-6 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbling.
