Instructions
Preparation:
Prepare the Dough:
In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–7 minutes until foamy.
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and
olive oil
. Knead for 6–8 minutes until smooth.
Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
(If using store-bought dough, allow it to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.)
Grill the Vegetables:
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Brush zucchini, eggplant, and bell pepper with
olive oil
. Grill 2–3 minutes per side until charred and tender.
Season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Assembly:
Shape the Dough:
Preheat the oven to 250°C (475°F).
Roll or stretch dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a floured pizza peel or parchment paper.
Build the Pizza:
Brush dough with
olive oil
and scatter minced garlic.
Sprinkle mozzarella evenly, then layer grilled vegetables.
Bake:
Place pizza on the hot stone or baking sheet. Bake 10–12 minutes until crust is golden and cheese has melted.
Finish:
Remove from the oven. Tear burrata into pieces and place on top while pizza is still hot.
Garnish with fresh basil and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
Notes
Shortcut: Pre-grill vegetables in batches and store in the fridge for a quick midweek pizza.
Variation: Add grilled asparagus or cherry tomatoes for extra color and sweetness.
Tip: Use a mix of olive oil and a hint of chili flakes for a gentle, spicy kick.
