The pizza with mortadella, stracciatella and pistachios is a tasty leavened bread with a rich and irresistible topping. For this recipe I used my fail-safe pizza dough recipe and baked it in the oven with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Once out of the oven I topped it with pistachio pesto, a few slices of mortadella and burrata stracciatella. The result was amazing and I can’t wait to make it again!

Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups type 00 flour
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tsp fresh yeast
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3.5 oz mortadella (sliced)

Steps
To make the pizza with mortadella, stracciatella and pistachios, crumble the fresh yeast into a small bowl and add the water at room temperature. Stir until the yeast is completely dissolved.
In a large bowl, or in the stand mixer, pour the flour and add the yeast and water mixture. Begin to mix.
Add the salt and extra virgin olive oil; knead until the dough comes together: it should be a compact, soft mass that does not stick to your hands or to the bowl.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for four hours, until it has doubled in volume.
After the rising time, take the dough and divide it into three equal parts. Shape them into logs and place them on the oven baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly oiled. Alternatively, stretch them into round pans to obtain round pizzas.
Stretch the pizzas by hand and let them rise for another 3–4 hours, away from drafts, preferably inside the turned-off oven.
Then drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the surface of the pizzas. Bake in a preheated oven at 428°F for 10 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
In the blender bowl (or mortar) add the crushed pistachios and pecorino. Blend while slowly pouring in the oil, until you obtain a creamy mixture.
Once the pizzas are baked, spread the pistachio pesto over their surface. Then top with slices of mortadella and the burrata stracciatella.
Serve the pizzas with a sprinkle of crushed pistachios and enjoy!
