Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package store-bought pizza dough (about 14 oz / 400 g)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 ripe nectarines, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz (225 g) burrata cheese, torn into pieces
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly torn
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower honey)
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone inside if using. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
  2. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a roughly 12-inch (30 cm) oval or rectangle. Transfer it to parchment paper.
  3. Brush the dough generously with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
  4. Slide the dough on the parchment onto the heated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are golden and crust puffs slightly.
  5. While the crust bakes, gently warm honey in a small saucepan on low heat. Stir in chili flakes, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Keep warm but do not boil, about 3 minutes.
  6. Remove crust from oven and immediately scatter torn burrata pieces evenly over it. Layer nectarine slices on top, followed by fresh basil and lemon zest.
  7. Switch oven to broil and return flatbread for 2–3 minutes to warm burrata and soften nectarines without melting cheese completely.
  8. Remove from oven and drizzle the warm honey chili sauce over the flatbread. Let rest for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, swap burrata with a plant-based creamy cheese alternative. Nectarines can be substituted with peaches or plums. Adjust chili flakes to taste for desired heat level. Preheating the pizza stone or baking sheet is crucial for a crispy crust. Leftovers keep well for up to 2 days and reheat best in oven or skillet, not microwave.
