Once it's thickened and chunky, and seasoned to your liking, remove from heat. Transfer the sauce to heat-safe bowl to cool before using it for the pizza.
Burrata Pizza
On a lightly floured pizza peel, roll, stretch or spin your pizza dough to a roughly 12-inch round. Use a spoon with a slightly flat bottom to spoon and spread the sauce on the dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, until the dough is puffy and golden.
When the pizza comes out of the oven, use a silicone brush to brush olive oil over the crust. Then, break apart the burrata on the pizza. evenly distributing the fresh mozzarella and cream. Use one or two spheres of burrata to get the cheese coverage you want.
Once you have the burrata on the pie, drizzle olive oil over the cheese and cream. Then garnish with as much fresh basil as you like.
