Italien Flatbread

For the Flatbread:

  • Completed step Pizza dough – ready-to-use (shop-bought or homemade), enough for 6 individual flatbreads

For the Filling:

  • Completed step 12–15 slices Mortadella di Bologna
  • Completed step 6–8 tbsp pistachio cream (see below)
  • Completed step 2–3 balls buffalo mozzarella
  • Completed step 2 large handfuls of fresh rocket leaves
  • Completed step Olive oil, for brushing

For the Pistachio Cream:

  • Completed step 180g shelled pistachios
  • Completed step 6 tbsp ricotta cheese
  • Completed step 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Completed step A pinch of salt

Special Equipment

  • Slate Grill or
  • Weber Griddle

Instructions

    IN THE KITCHEN:

  • Make the Pistachio Cream: Place the pistachios in a small food processor and blend until finely ground. Add the ricotta, olive oil, and salt, blending until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with a little more olive oil or warm water if needed. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Divide the raw pizza dough into six portions and roll each out to around 3mm thick.
  • AT THE GRILL:

  • Prepare the barbecue for direct heat, approx. 180-230°C. If using a charcoal barbecue, you need ½ chimney starter of lit briquettes.
  • Heat a Slate Grill, or griddle over medium-high heat, brushing lightly with oil.
  • Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side until dark blisters appear and the bread is soft yet slightly crisp at the edges.
  • Keep warm while you prepare the filling.
  • Place the mortadella slices on the hot griddle or slate and sear lightly for 30–45 seconds each side until fragrant and gently caramelised.
  • Assemble the Sandwiches:

  • Spread pistachio cream over three of the flatbreads.
  • Layer with mortadella, mozzarella, and fresh rocket.
  • Top with the remaining flatbreads and press gently.
  • Return each sandwich to the griddle or slate and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until warmed through, lightly golden, and the filling just begins to melt together.
  • Slice in half and serve warm.
