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!


Instructions

  • Substitute mozzarella with provolone or fontina for a different flavor.

  • Add prosciutto or roasted vegetables inside for a heartier version.

  • Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.

  • Ensure the dough edges are sealed well to prevent filling leakage.
