Squash Blossoms, Tomato, and Burrata
- 10 to 12 fresh squash blossoms, or as needed
- 1 round of Nancys Pizza Dough (page 126)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 1/4 cup Passata di Pomodoro (page 25) or tomato sauce
- 4 ounces burrata
- Finishing-quality extra-virgin olive oil, about 1 tablespoon
- Freshly gound black pepper
- Trim and discard the stems from the squash blossoms.
- Cut a slit down the side of the blossoms, open them up with your fingers, and cut out and discard the stamens.
- Prepare and stretch the dough and preheat the oven according to the instructions given in Nancys Scuola di Pizza (page 128).
- Brush the rim of the dough with olive oil and season the entire surface with salt.
- Ladle or spoon the sauce onto the center of the dough and use the back of the ladle or spoon in a circular motion to spread the sauce over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1-inch rim without any sauce.
- Working from the outside of the pizza toward the center, and still leaving the rim clean, lay the squash blossoms in two concentric circles, plus 2 blossoms in the very center, with the outside of the blossoms facing up, covering the pizza in a single layer.
- Slide the pizza into the oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and crispy, 8 to 12 minutes.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and cut it into quarters.
- Cut the burrata into four equal segments, place one segment onto each quadrant of the pizza, drizzle the finishing-quality olive oil, grind the black pepper over the burrata, and serve.
