Seriously, who the fuck am I? I'm thinking about putting this post together and making myself barf because of my smarmy San Francisco foodie-ness. I mean, look at the NAME OF THE PIZZA, for chrissakes!!
I'll keep it short. I spied some burrata at the Trader's and chose it as my ingredient du semaine - I learned through the Internet that it is often eaten simply with heirloom tomatoes as a salad, and after coming to the end of that road, here we are. I looked up burrata and heirloom tomatoes and pizza and found this blog post about pitfire pizza in l.a. and their burrata pie. i took the description of the pizza from the blog and recreated it:
On the crust is a layer of their tomato sauce that is then topped with caramelized onions. ... Then of course, there’s the burrata cheese. In case you’re wondering, burrata cheese is mozzarella cheese that has cream in the center of it, which makes it extra creamy when melted. Why more people don’t put it on pizzas will forever be a wonder to me. I could honestly be fine with this pizza as it is now, but then the guys at Pitfire go and cover the whole thing with fresh arugula and drizzle it with a hazelnut pesto. Hazelnut pesto!
I used TJ's whole wheat dough and made my own carmelized onions (MAN they make pizza tasty). I love pizzas with salads on top of them, but this one just wouldn't fit the arugula, so I had it on the side. I added heirloomies and basil and didn't bother with the hazelnut pesto (my yuppie-ness has boundaries!).
