Pizza Sandwich - Pizzamackan!

With the advent of social media, it's become incredibly easy to discover new recipes online. One of them that caught my eye on Instagram is the pizza sandwich. It was Helan Shabani who shared her pizza sandwich, and my friends and I were immediately hooked. We actually made this sandwich on a girls' trip together. While I didn't have the right dough on hand, it turned out delicious nonetheless. Although, in hindsight, we should have made them smaller. But when the eyes are hungry...

 

Ingredients:

 Pesto (store-bought or homemade)

Red onion

Arugula

Garlic cloves

Cherry tomatoes

burrata or mozzarella

Fresh basil

Crema di balsamico

Balsamic vinegar

Store-bought pizza dough

Instructions:

 1. Preheat the oven and roll out the dough to the desired size for the sandwich. Bake the pizza dough according to the instructions provided. Drizzle olive oil on one half of the pizza, fold it over, drizzle on top, and slide it into the oven. Remove when it's baked and has a nice golden surface.



While the pizza is baking, slice the tomatoes and marinate them in finely chopped basil, grated garlic, olive oil, chopped red onion, and balsamic vinegar to taste. Add salt and pepper according to your preference.


Let the bread cool, spread pesto on it, top with the tomato mixture, and spread the burrata or mozzarella on top of the tomatoes. Finish with arugula and drizzle crema di balsamico over it. Cut into desired pieces and enjoy!



Enjoy!
