Crispy on the outside, airy on the inside — the ultimate sandwich base. Prep Time 30 minutes Oven Temp 550°F Servings 4 [Subscribe to our YouTube for more recipes](https://www.youtube.com/@gaborandsons) ## Ingredients Makes 4 sandwiches ImperialMetric - 24 oz NY style pizza dough (at least 63% hydration) - 2 fl oz Olive oil (plus more for pan and drizzle) - 8 oz Stracciatella cheese - 8 oz Mortadella, thinly sliced - 4 oz Pistachio cream - 2 oz Pistachios, roughly crushed - 0.5 tsp Flaky sea salt ### Recommended Equipment Image 10 x 14 Carbon Blue Steel Detroit Style Pizza Pan ## Instructions Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark as you follow along. 1 Step 1 Temper — Remove dough from fridge 2 hours before baking and let come fully to room temp. Tip: Cold dough won't stretch — this step is essential. 💡 Tip: Temper the dough directly in a lightly oiled rectangular container (e.g., Rubbermaid) — it will naturally relax into the shape, making it much easier to transfer to the pan and stretch to the corners. 2 Step 2 Pan — Coat a 10x14 pan generously with olive oil, transfer dough, and press to fit. Drizzle olive oil over the top and dimple deeply with your fingers. 3 Step 3 Rest — Cover and let rest 30–45 minutes until slightly puffed. Re-dimple before baking. 💡 Tip: If your oven has a proof setting, place the covered pan inside to expedite the process and cut proofing time significantly. 4 Step 4 Bake — Turn the top burner completely off and set oven to 500–600°F. Place pan on the oven floor and bake 6–8 minutes until deep golden brown on top and crispy on the bottom. 💡 Tip: Check the bottom at 6 minutes by lifting an edge with a spatula — you want a deep, even golden crust. 5 Step 5 Cool & spread — Rest 5 minutes, then slice focaccia in half horizontally. Spread pistachio cream generously on the bottom half. 6 Step 6 Build — Layer mortadella over the pistachio cream, then spoon stracciatella over the top. Scatter crushed pistachios, finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of flaky sea salt. 7 Step 7 Serve — Press the top half of the focaccia down gently and slice into 4 sandwiches. Serve immediately. ## Best-Selling Accessories [Shop All](/accessories) [ ![Festa Approved Natural Gas Conversion Kit](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0712/9766/3228/files/NaturalGasConversion-Top2-2048px.webp?v=1753483364) Festa Approved Natural Gas Conversion Kit $74.99 ](/accessories/natural-gas-conversion-kit-festa-approved)[ ![Festa Pizza Oven Mobile Stand](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0712/9766/3228/files/Stand.png?v=1773964154) Festa Pizza Oven Mobile Stand $324.99 ](/accessories/festa-pizza-oven-stand)[ ![Festa Pizza Oven Cover](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0712/9766/3228/files/Cover2.jpg?v=1771949847) Festa Pizza Oven Cover $24.99 ](/accessories/festa-oven-cover)[ ![Festa Pizza Co.'s Aluminum Pizza Baking Screen, 16-Inch, Pack of 3](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0712/9766/3228/files/Pizza_Screen_3_Pack.jpg?v=1769360288) Festa Pizza Co.'s Aluminum Pizza Baking Screen, 16-Inch, Pack of 3 $24.99 ](/accessories/festa-pizza-cos-aluminum-pizza-baking-screen-16-inch-pack-of-3-new-star-foodservice-9099670421756)[ ![Festa Pizza Oven Stand Cover](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0712/9766/3228/files/IMG_2415.jpg?v=1781614784) Festa Pizza Oven Stand Cover $44.99 ](/accessories/festa-pizza-oven-stand-cover)[ ![Festa Oven 16" Cordierite Pizza Stone](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0712/9766/3228/files/FestaOvenReplacementStone.jpg?v=1765747585) Festa Oven 16" Cordierite Pizza Stone $29.99 ](/accessories/festa-oven-replacement-stone) ## More Great Recipes [ ![S'mores Dessert Pizza](https://izocrkwqthourkgkmpkl.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/page-media/1776262978565-w9j7b1fa98.webp) Dessert Pizza ### S'mores Dessert Pizza Toasted marshmallow, melted chocolate, and graham cracker crumble on a crispy pizza crust.
