- Stretch the dough into a 10-inch round or oval shape and place it on a floured pizza peel.
- Generously drizzle olive oil over the surface, then fold it in half to form a half-circle. Adding fior di latte on the bottom half
- Drizzle the top with more olive oil.
- Launch the pizza sandwich base into the oven and cook for 60 to 90 seconds, turning it every 20 seconds for an even bake.
- Begin assembling your sandwich by unfolding the cooled, cooked pizza crust. Generously spread pesto on the bottom half. Layer with, prosciutto, and burrata. Finish with a topping of fresh basil. Adding sweet & hot honey if you prefer. Enjoy!
