Equipment
Ingredients
Pizza Dough:
- 350 g flour 00
- 230 ml water
- 0,5 g yeast
- 10 g salt
Fillings:
- 4 tbsp Olive oil
- 200 g Mozzarella cheese
- 300 g Mortadella slices
- 4 Burrata cheese
- 4 tbsp Pistachios chopped
- 90 g Parmesan cheese grated
- Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Prepare Pizza Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, water, yeast, and salt. Mix until a rough dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface and knead for about 20 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough back into the mixing bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise for 18 hours at room temperature.
- After 18 hours, divide the dough into 4 equal-sized balls and shape them into smooth rounds.
- Let the dough balls rest for another 4 hours before rolling out.
Preheat Oven:
- Place a rack in the upper third of the oven, or at least 8" below the broiler. Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C) with a baking steel or stone on the rack for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare Pizza Pockets:
- Roll out each dough ball into a round shape.
- Sprinkle the surface with olive oil and add mozzarella cheese, avoiding the borders.
- Fold each round in half to make a semi-circle.
Bake the Dough:
- Transfer the folded dough onto parchment paper on a baking peel or sheet.
- Slide the dough onto the preheated baking steel or stone and bake for 4 to 5 minutes until light brown.
- Turn on the oven’s top broiler and continue baking for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and charred in spots. Rotate the dough if needed to prevent burning.
Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Gently open the dough pockets and add mortadella slices, burrata cheese, chopped pistachios, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil leaves.
- Drizzle with olive oil.
Garnish:
- Fold the pizza sandwiches in half, closing the pockets.
- Brush each sandwich with more olive oil and sprinkle with additional pistachios and Parmesan cheese.
