Pesto Burrata Lemon Pepper Arugula Pizza

Urban Recipes


By Christina Jeffrey



An easy week night meal is pizza, but here's a healthier twist on it. 


Pesto Burrata Lemon Pepper Arugula Pizza. Basil pesto with creamy Burrata cheese and the topped with arugula tossed in a lemon pepper olive oil dressing.


If you're in a hurry go with a store bought crust. But if you have the time you must try this semolina dough. It is delicious with honey and olive oil in it! If you have not used Semolina before it is a type of flour made from durum wheat.  It is a higher protein flour then regular all purpose flour, and is also packed with minerals.  If you prefer a gluten free crust, you could also try this recipe on my gluten free crust that I posted a couple weeks ago.
