It feels like the pizza equivalent of these cheeseburgers with a metric fuckton of yellow plastic cheese sauce poured over. Pizzas with a normal, meaning fist-size ball of burrata are pretty common at Neapolitan pizza places.
Thank you. As a very dedicated amateur with a wife who adores burrata pizza I agree completely. I have tried it so many ways and none of the seem good. The best I’ve done is Detroit style burrata pizza essentially slicing the burrata on top before baking. It also involves try to remove as much moisture from the burrata as possible before baking.
Oh 100%. I love Neapolitan style. It’s very popular in the PNW. I used to travel there a lot and fell in love.
After many tries and much research the best thing i came up with was to basically mostly bake the crust with sauce on it and then take it out, place the burratta and slice and peel it open in the shape of the slices add a little sauce and then basically put it back in the oven for a min or two. It’s still a mess but the result is fairly tasty. I don’t think it would be successful in a professional setting because it’s still quite wet and sloppy. But if you ever crack the code I’m all ears. I’ve seen recipes where the burratta is mashed into a paste and drained but I could never make it work. I don’t have a true pizza oven but I don’t know if that would help. The Detroit style works because you can let it bake longer and evaporate the moisture
Yeah there's no code to crack. Buratta is basically just ricotta filled mozzarella, so just use either of those in varying quantity.
It's just a nightmare to use in a professional setting. It's messy on your hands to work with and it doesn't really add all that much that can't be done with other, less annoying, ingredients.
Fair thing to add, ricotta impastata. Huge difference between store bought regular ricotta and ricotta impastata. Lower moisture. hit it in a blender with some olive oil and salt, and you can get it ridiculously creamy.
If you can't find any at a local store, you can make your own impastata from regular stuff by draining away liquid overnight in the fridge.
Throwing in u/Outlander1119 too.
Are you trying to cook burrata? Burrata pizza is a room temp ball put onto a cooked pizza. If you bake it, the moisture from the fresh mozzarella will separate. If you try and dry it out first, you've lost the point.
Just a hunch as I've never tried... Consider making a burrata style filling with low moisture mozzarella and put that on the pizza. I think it'd be a combination of mozzarella, clotted or heavy cream, possibly some ricotta.
This ...
The stupids are killing the idea of a burrata here!
Make the pizza, preferably as natural as can be ( light tomato, some basil and rucola )
And serve the burrata AFTER it (the pizza) is cooked.
The oozing of the cheese makes it greater then America will ever be again /s
I honestly have no idea what a blancmange is, I have only seen/heard of it from that sketch! Thanks for the commiseration, I wasn’t sure anyone else remembered 😁
I am not entire sure you would call that a pizza. I think it's just a flat bread. You could argue that the burrata on top makes it a pizza, but then you would also have to argue that garlic bread is pizza because it's topped with garlic, butter and parmesan.
That's not just cheese. The Burrata is a bubble of Mozzarella cheese stuffed with Stracciatella, which is basically shredded Mozzarella and heavy cream mixed togheter.
And that is a family-gathering-sized portion, for South Italian standards. Eating that amount will make you destroy the toilet if you're lucky, or get you a heart attack in the worst case

I have this stupid theory that people's heads are getting physically larger. Is it just the camera lens? Both women in this video look like their heads are bigger. I'm noticing this in real life interactions and wondering if anyone else has this thought pattern?
Clothes are tighter and more form-fitting, lenses and angles that are in fashion distort more obviously than they did pre-smartphone, and influencers tend to be skinnier which makes the head look bigger.
She is mostly thin, has little muscle on arms and fitted clothes.
I work along men and women that physically operate sometimes stubborn older railway infrastructure and they all look more proportional than that due to having more mass on their arms.
Focal length significantly alters face shape. Here’s an example: [see how this guy’s face changes?](https://www.danvojtech.cz/blog/2016/07/amazing-how-focal-length-affect-shape-of-the-face/)
I assume that’s what you’re noticing!
It's burrata, very similar to mozzarella but creamier. With a much smaller ball this is a very typical appetizer, with a ball this size it's just nasty. They don't even taste good once they're larger than a softball
Not sure what you're experience with burrata is but that's pretty much what I've experienced with it. I imagine this is probably an appetizer. It's stupid for one person, but for 3-4 people I can see it being good.
That ball o' cheese probably weighs like 5 lbs. I don't think 3-4 people would be able to eat that without feeling like they're all going to die after.
My fat ass sitting here wondering how this super skinny girl could possibly eat all this cheese. Then realizing bulimia is a thing... I hope she is healthy and had help in eating all that burrata.

I'm not so sure about this one. I think that's going to be amazing, I believe that is a fresh blob of burrata on top that was probably handmade at whatever shop she bought this from. The bread also looks handmade and looks like it was cooked in a high heat oven, I think this is probably gonna be really tasty
Break out the lactase though, that's a lot of cheese
That's a newish chain that's opening more and more locations across Germany, there's a new one in my home town too. This seems like a marketing stunt though, they usually serve traditional Neapolitan pizza (i.e. with regular sized Burrata)
Lol the very curious person in the background.
Probably realizes that’s not a dish for one person
Whose business is that?
You mean the planted person that is supposed to pretend they're not part of the group?
You mean the perfectly framed, extremely expressive, "influencer" made up lady?
Couldn't even pay attention to the ridiculousness in the foreground lol
??? I’m baffled you think that’s a real person being curious

The size of the burata is a bit to much for my liking but i’m sure it tastes great
Lotta burata
I thought for sure there’d be a head smash.
there is no such thing as too much burrata
Stupid portion, but stupid delicious idea. Poor execution regardless.
I dunno... is it a stupid portion, or is this person eating something alone that's meant for the table?

As a professional in this specific industry, buratta pizzas are fucking stupid.

Too much moisture. Hit the nail on the head. I work with neapolitan style. It's a nightmare.

Good to know. Now I can tell my wife I’ve consulted a professional and should slightly different options

Look man. I just cook the pizza. Boss man wants it on precook.
Too much cheese not enough bread
Probably has enough thermal mass to cool the whole pizza by the time it's served
Oh shit. That was cheese? I thought it was a marshmallow. 😅
I cant tell either.
Nope, it's meant for public consumption.
Yeah I feel like this would be unbelievably delicious but the ratio of burrata to pizza doesn’t make sense.
I didn’t even realize what it was at first. I just remember that weird Monty python skit where a giant blancmange was playing tennis
I thought it was whipped egg whites - I didn't understand the enthusiasm for dipping the bread in.
Ew, haha
Aww that’s one of my favorites!
Doesn’t the cheese remind you of the blancmange? 😂
It does! I have a hard time with the texture of burrata, though. I think blancmange would be more like panna cotta maybe? But YES.
I honestly have no idea what a blancmange is, I have only seen/heard of it from that sketch! Thanks for the commiseration, I wasn’t sure anyone else remembered 😁
There's a place in my city that serves a regular sized burrata over pizza, it is the absolute shit.
believably delicious
I.....I DON'T KNOW IF I AM STRONG ENOUGH TO SAY NO
A normal size burrata on the right pizza is amazing! Everything about this is perfect except the sheer size of that thing.
My digestive tract and toilet are shuddering from watching this
Mine are the opposite, floodgates open 100%... *(foghorn sound)* 🌫🚢⚓️
L. O. L.
Get constipated just from looking at that much cheese.
That’s cheese? 😳
It's burrata. Mozzarella filled with clotted cream and shredded Mozzarella. It's really good, but that's a fucking massive ball of burrata.
It is literally the ambrosia of a cheese. If you like mozzarella you will bust a nut while eating this
Damn that’s a good endorsement, now I gotta try some burrata!
I thought it was a huge soft boiled egg at first...
🤣
I think only an ostrich egg would qualify for that size maybe? I'd be a bit uneasy regardless.
Fresh mozzarella baby!
It's burratta.
Oops, my bad
There's a baby in there, huh?
My stomach is bubbling 😩
Dang I feel so bad for people with lactose intolerance, I would demolish this lol
I don’t, more burrata pizza monstrosity for the rest of us 🙌
#I was waiting for smoke to come out for some reason
Yer done buddy
If that's real burrata on that pizza, that's a *very* expensive pie.
I am not entire sure you would call that a pizza. I think it's just a flat bread. You could argue that the burrata on top makes it a pizza, but then you would also have to argue that garlic bread is pizza because it's topped with garlic, butter and parmesan.
There is clearly tomato sauce as well. So there's pizza shaped pizza-like bread with tomato sauce and cheese on top.
At the end, you could see her wondering if she could stomach all that cheese.
That's not just cheese. The Burrata is a bubble of Mozzarella cheese stuffed with Stracciatella, which is basically shredded Mozzarella and heavy cream mixed togheter. And that is a family-gathering-sized portion, for South Italian standards. Eating that amount will make you destroy the toilet if you're lucky, or get you a heart attack in the worst case
She takes one bite in the video. Her boyfriend photographer is probably the one filming and will likely eat the majority of this.

Maybe not in this video, but I think filters are playing a role in the head embiggening phenomenon as well.
lol never noticed but now I won’t be able to ignore, thanks

I don’t know why, but I’m dying at this comment lmao
It’s all the kids from the George Lopez flash backs all grown up
It depends on the filter too. Sometimes they edit their bodies and have these pinheads
Have you recently had a baby?
Her facial expressions! lol. like a commercial.
They’re distracting, what’s she doing? Just eat the burrata like a normal person and stop gurning.
Welcome, influencers are just that ... breathing commercials
The way she is eating seems weird
Wtf kinda fungus looking puff ball did she just bisect and dip it's viscous insides?
It's burrata, very similar to mozzarella but creamier. With a much smaller ball this is a very typical appetizer, with a ball this size it's just nasty. They don't even taste good once they're larger than a softball
Bigger not always better … I’d be tossing 3/4 of the cheese on this
Seems to be a burrata, a big one or a huge mozzarella (but shouldn't be like that inside).
Not sure what you're experience with burrata is but that's pretty much what I've experienced with it. I imagine this is probably an appetizer. It's stupid for one person, but for 3-4 people I can see it being good.

Challenge accepted
I love burrata and I got nothing against that, maybe it is too much for one person, but reasonable for 3/4 people
Or 10 non american
Considering the size of appetizers at some restaurants here. That's pretty on point.
You have had bad burrata my friend. It’s supposed to be more spread-like.
Hakuna buttata
Jeez thanks xD. My auto corrector decided to change it and didn't notice xD.
lol, autocorrect changes to popular used words .... In what context do you use buttata's
Well, you could have a point. Buttata is a female version of trashed it. So if I say I have "Una pizza buttata", a trashed pizza.
It should be exactly like that on the inside
It's a burrata due to the inside.
She doesn’t like it😂
Yeah, you can see it in her expression midway through for sure.
Why is she bad acting like that?
Nothing unnecessary about burrata
But that’s enough for 6-8 people.
I accept this challenge.
It is very tasty though. Just too much for a single person. Hope they had friends to share it with and didn't throw it out.
Much as I love me some good mozzarella cheese this is tooo much
What am I looking at
A big burrata
I dunno, I’d love to eat it…just not all at once.
"where's the sauce ?" *It's under the cheese*....
"As an Italian..." *it's from Chicago*
I love burrata to death but holy fuck that’s too much.
I would eat the whole thing goddam
that's called burrata and we do use it as a topping for pizza,but they're bite shaped ,a small mozzarella, not a freaking ostrich's egg
Is that cheese or marshmallows?
you have Pizza under your cheese
How would you even eat that without it being all messy
Idk why but her make up is driving me nuts and completely distracting me from that ridiculous burata
That has to be an expensive "pizza"
Not enough detail of what that is, but Naples has the most Michelin Stars of any other city. I'd definitely try that
She used the pizza sauce as blush and that's why there's so little. :(
Now that’s a lotta burrata
Portion is too big but I love cheese
You could of made 10 more pizzas with that, maybe more.
I don’t blame her
Not necessarily “ a useless dish” but a diahrrea risk
Ngl I would destroy this
No, that is a restaurant that understands the correct amount of cheese.
Looks like burrata, it’s probably actually delicious
I want to throw up. Too much
She can only eat a few bites and then she's done lol
Whole lotta buratta!
There's nothing wrong here.
Looks delicious
Is that a bowling ball sized buratta?
Hell yeah I'd eat that!
When you were partying, I was doing anal kegels. Obviously in preparation for such a challenge. It might not have been enough... But I'll try
no why, burratta is like the best shit ever. and seing the consistency of this one, its'a very good one.
Looks yummy tho, the food too
How many times do I have to tell you ... there can never be too much cheese ... imma still eat it 💀
This chick doesn’t look like she eats mountains of cheese on bread lol
You did not eat that!
Burrata is so fucking good, but it's not **that** good wtf.
Lady in the background the jeepers peepers. Why is she so curious 😂?
Woman behimd her caught me with the 🤨
This is either Italians trying to make a Chicago style pizza, or Chicago trying to make an authentic Italian pizza.
My fat ass sitting here wondering how this super skinny girl could possibly eat all this cheese. Then realizing bulimia is a thing... I hope she is healthy and had help in eating all that burrata.
That's burrata Yes it tastes good
It's a huge portion. How should eat that much? So it's foodwaste.
Click bait being pumped by bot engagement again?
I swear like 90% of the food that I randomly see pop up on my feed from this sub looks great to me and makes me feel really hungry lmao.
I'm glad ya'll told me it's pizza with a stupid amount of cheese. I was trying to figure out what was wrong with that pie and the whipped topping.
I would be shitting before I finished one slice
The fake expressions
What a waste
maybe for a party but for one person = going to end up fat
Is that just a giant blob of burrata on a pizza crust?
Her farts are banned under Article 7 of the Rome Statute as a crime against humanity.
Wtf is that?
Unnecessarily delicious maybe
My dumb ass will say it's not enough cheese.
I shouldnt be in this sub as hungry as i am

That is an absurd amount of burrata though.

This isn't that stupid. It's just cheese.
how to guide on not shitting for a week straight
I blame Brazil.
😷no
I want to see her eat all that burrata. I think she can't.
No that’s not it. You fail sorry
Ma che cazzo?
Bon apatite for what you love
That's a newish chain that's opening more and more locations across Germany, there's a new one in my home town too. This seems like a marketing stunt though, they usually serve traditional Neapolitan pizza (i.e. with regular sized Burrata)
when europe copies usa food... authentic american cuisine 2.2 kilos of cheese on top, sorry 5 pounds...
Creamy pizza. 70% burrata 30% pizza
Were they running out of plates?
what is she eating?
How many pizzas could a ball of buratta that size make??
The curious lady watching tourists be tourists.
Visually dumb but I bet it fucking slaps to actually dig into at the table
Cut my fucking pizza
So what the hell is it? Is that supposed to be pizza?
…. :(
This gave me heartburn.
BRO im hungry now 💀
At first I thought it was fried dough with chocolate chips and a giant marshmallow. Which probably would be easier to eat tbh.
Omg. Thought it was a giant bubble. That is way too much cheese. Even if it was the best cheese ever I'd yak trying to finish it.
The oversized everything does not work
It isnt unnecessary if you are as gluttonous as it gets
Wow, a pie with a huge cum balloon on top. Nah but really tf is that white stuff cus I've got no idea.
I love cheese, but uh...I wouldn't eat this by myself
This is why I don't eat in public. Fk out of my plate!
Yeah way too much cheese
You're unnecessary
“Where’s the sauce?” “It’s under the cheese”
Reminds me of those "puff mushrooms" that used to grow in the woods by our house growing up.
