45	Minutes (includes preheat)
1	14" Pizza

Ingredients

1 8-ounce ball burrata cheese
1 14-ounce ball prepared pizza dough
½ tablespoon of cornmeal or semolina flour, for dusting
1 large or 2 small heirloom tomatoes, cored and sliced ¼” thick
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups diced cherry or campari tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped, plus more for garnish

Instructions

Remove the burrata and the pizza dough from the refrigerator. Dust the dough lightly with flour and let the dough and the cheese come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
Place the Pizza Shield and Stone on top of the oven rack (position 7 for ranges and position 5 for wall ovens).
Select Stone-Baked Pizza Mode and follow the instructions to begin preheating.
Add cherry tomatoes, olive oil, chopped garlic, and chopped basil to a medium bowl and toss to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.
Gently stretch the pizza dough, lifting up the dough and rotating it with your hands to allow it to stretch with its own weight. Dust with additional flour if needed to prevent sticking.
Lightly dust a pizza peel with an even coating of cornmeal or semolina flour (note: use only enough to prevent sticking, as too much will cause it to burn in the oven). Transfer the dough to the prepared peel.
Arrange the sliced tomatoes evenly over the dough and sprinkle with salt.
Give the pizza a gentle shake on the peel to make sure it moves. If any spots appear to be sticking, gently lift that corner and give it a little more flour. Shake the peel again and add more flour, if necessary.
When the preheat cycle ends, transfer the pizza to the preheated stone. After two minutes, the pizza should be evenly golden brown and the tomatoes should be evenly cooked through. Add an additional 15 seconds of cooking time, if needed.
Remove the pizza from the oven and transfer to a plate or pizza plan. Top evenly with marinated tomatoes and place the burrata in the center. Cut open the burrata and spread over the pizza.
Slice and enjoy. (Note: Reserve the marinade from the tomatoes for dipping your pizza crust!).
