Description

This Grilled Pizza Sandwich with Mozzarella and Arugula is a rustic, Italian-inspired creation, combining wood-fired pizza dough with creamy melted mozzarella, fresh peppery arugula, and a drizzle of garlic-infused olive oil. Baked to golden perfection, it’s a delicious twist on a classic sandwich — perfect for casual dinners, quick lunches, or savory snacks!

Ingredients

Preheat a pizza stone or heavy pan in the oven at 475°F (245°C).
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a rough rectangle.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil with minced garlic.
Brush one half of the dough with the garlic oil mixture.
Top with mozzarella cheese and a generous handful of arugula.
Fold the dough over to enclose the filling like a sandwich, pressing the edges gently.
Transfer carefully onto the hot stone or pan.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust is golden and slightly charred.
Remove from oven, slice into portions, and season with salt, pepper, and optional balsamic drizzle.
Serve hot and enjoy the melty, fresh flavors!
