Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 8 slices Mortadella Use thinly sliced mortadella.
  • 1 cup Fresh cheese (mozzarella or burrata) Choose a creamy cheese for the filling.
  • 1/2 cup Pistachios Chopped pistachios add crunch.
  • 1 pound Neapolitan-style pizza dough Homemade or store-bought.
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon zest For added brightness.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg A pinch for flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil For drizzling and brushing on top.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven according to the pizza dough instructions.
  2. Roll out the Neapolitan-style pizza dough into circles.
  3. In the center of each circle, layer slices of mortadella, fresh cheese, and pistachios.
  4. Season the filling with lemon zest, nutmeg, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  5. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy your mortadella pizza sandwich.

Notes

For a lighter option, use whole-grain dough and more vegetables. Can be frozen for later use; just reheat for 10–15 minutes in the oven or 6–8 minutes in the air fryer to restore crispiness.
