Mortadella Pizza Sandwich with fresh cheese and pistachio

Martin shows you how to make a Mortadella Pizza Sandwich. Starting with a Neapolitan-style pizza dough, these sandwiches are filled with mortadella, burrata, peppers, spices, and all kinds of delicious ingredients after the easy-to-make dough is baked. But does it count as a sandwich? Get in the comments and tell us. Thanks to Evan Funke, who calls sandwich this La Mortazza on the menu at Mother Wolf in Los Angeles, for the inspiring this recipe.
In his vegetarian version of the sandwich, Martin fills the pizza sandwich with fresh mozzarella, roasted beets, spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, and Sriracha mayonnaise.

Oh my goodness, that is a mouth watering sandwich! As far as content, Martin and Tucker always have each other’s interest when filming the bake. That’s teamwork. Never mind how together they bring the best recipes to us viewers.

They're a fabulous team, for sure, and we're proud of them! We're thrilled to hear they're inspiring your baking, Kathryn. 😊 -🥐Lily

Haven’t been this inspired by a cooking video in quite a while! Your passion really comes out. Bought all the ingredients today. Going to try it out tomorrow. Will be my first time eating mortadella!

This is a takeoff on the place in Tuscany where you have to wait in long lines to get this sandwich. It's on DeNeri Street. It's called Il Paradiso From All’Antico Vinao. I like to add the Pecorino to the Burrata and then add the Pistachios and mix well. It makes a really creamy sauce. Then sprinkle some more Pistachios on top of the cheese. When adding the Mortadella you want to include as much air into the meat as you top it. Don't fold the meat before adding it. The place in Tuscany uses a bread called Schiachatta. You can find recipes online but this one looks pretty good too.

the care you took with each element is incredible!

[@joanndavis4843]

That sandwich looked good 👍. I myself would want to add some thinly sliced tomato with a bit of fresh chiffonade basil, give it maybe just a few sprinkles of balsamic vinegar 😋 .

I recently learned of a bread made in Naples called Panuozzo, made from pizza dough. Very similar to what you made and I’ve seen them fold it over like you did. The one I’ve seen and made looks very similar to Ciabatta. Love the KA and Martin videos. You showed me how to shape baguettes, I believe with your Son.

What a great video! Simple and easy recipe that I cannot wait to try. I love how you showed different variations and ingredients you can use to build a unique sandwich too, it really helps to bring perspective and get ideas flowing. I go to the University of Mount Olive and cannot wait to make this for my roommates next semester. Thank You.

I make this same sandwich for my family. I fry the dough, grate some Parmesan cheese, mortadella, provolone cheese and sprinkle some fresh thyme. I will try baking the dough next time I make it . Definitely add lemon zest and pistachio and the Burrata. For sure it's yummy.

[@HavenUpsurge]

How do you fry it?

[@jenniesantos341]

@@HavenUpsurgeflatten it like your making personal size pizza. Rest the dough for about 10 min. Fry dough on both sides until golden brown.

[@UY_pdr2020]

​@@jenniesantos341So you Frye it without folding it?? You fold it after you take it out of the oil.

[@rubywatson1144]

Yuuuummmm!

Where can I find details about the second sandwich construction?! Looks like sliced beets, spinach, some kind of sauce?

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Hi, Aaron! That sandwich embraces fresh mozzarella, spinach, pickled beets, parmesan cheese, and siracha horseradish. 😋 -🥐Lily

[@kilroyscarnivalfl]

What is the little oven(?) with the rounded hex shape on the countertop next to the wall ovens? I don’t remember seeing it on the set before.

[@kilroyscarnivalfl]

Ah, found it on your site! An electric (indoor) Ooni? Never saw that before.

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

It's so neat! It's one of their newer products. -👩‍🍳Morgan

[@jd5787]

So this US restaurant has invented a sandwich that has sold in Florence, Italy for a loooooong time? Hahahaha. Anyways, good video.

[@arnaudmoerland5290]

Hi just wondering why you turn the dough when you shape it and what do you mean when you say « if it’s fighting you »? I’m a beginner pizzaiolo and and don’t really see any difference when I do it

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Great questions! Turning the dough ensures that you get a nice even shape without any sections that are over-stretched. Dough is said to be "fighting you" when you try to pull it out and it immediately snaps back to its former shape, or resists stretching at all. If you go nice and slow and allow your dough to rest and relax, your dough will stretch out instead of snapping back or tearing. Hope that helps! -🍮Kat

[@jenuibel7663]

I noticed the Ooni pizza oven behind you. Did you bake any using that and if so what temperature did you set the oven too?

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Hi Jen! Martin baked this dough in a regular oven preheated to 500°F with a pizza stone. -👩‍🍳Morgan

[@breadwright]

In the Ooni I think I used around 750-800°F. HOT!

[@jenuibel7663]

@@breadwrightThank you! Had the Ooni a few months now and loving it. I’m really excited to try this. It looks so delicious!!

[@breadwright]

Love the Ooni! We shot a version of the sandwich using the volt but the video ran too long. The Ooni definitely makes something closer to the classic version. So good!

[@moniquevann9950]

[@jenniesantos341]

I fold it after frying. The pizza dough is quite playable even after frying. If you get a chance to try it , please let me know how it turns out for you.

[@jeanh9329]

If you don’t make your own bread, what can I use?

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Nothing will compare to the dough from the recipe, but you can see if a local grocery store offers pizza dough for purchase. Hoping this helps! -🥐Lily
