Method
Burrata Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Burrata
Carefully open the package of fresh burrata cheese. If the burrata is packed in water, drain it gently and pat it dry with a paper towel. Place the burrata on a serving plate.
- 2
Drizzle with Olive Oil
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the burrata generously, allowing it to soak into the cheese.

Garnish with Basil
Tear the fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the top of the burrata for garnish. Optionally, add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.
Wood-Fired Pita Preparation
- 4
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your wood-fired oven to a high temperature (around 450°F to 500°F or 230°C to 260°C). If you don't have a wood-fired oven, you can use a regular oven or grill.
- 5
Warm the Pita
Place the pita bread directly on the oven rack or grill for about 1-2 minutes, or until they puff up and get lightly charred. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Serve
Remove the warm pita from the oven and serve alongside the prepared burrata. Enjoy by tearing pieces of pita and dipping them into the creamy burrata.
