Welcome to Kelly’s Kitchen! This week’s recipe is really more of an idea than a recipe. It’s super simple and what makes it special is that we will use pizza dough as the bread to hold our prosciutto, mozzarella, tomatoes and basil. Let’s get right to it!
Today we are making a perfect Picnic Sandwich: Easy Italian Sandwich
Be sure to find the shoppable key ingredients and equipment
Preheat the oven to 450º F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and place the premade (or homemade!) pizza dough on the sheet pan. Use a brush to coat the surface of the dough with olive oil. Fold the dough in half and brush olive oil over the top of the dough. Then flip the dough over and brush olive oil over the top.
Sprinkle the top with flaky sea salt and minced fresh rosemary and thyme.
Bake the folded pizza dough for 15-20 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and puffy.
You can keep the half moon dough sandwich whole if you like, since I am making this for two, I am going to cut the half moon in half and make one at a time.
Crumple each prosciutto slice and lay them as the first layer of the sandwich. Then shingle alternating rows of tomato and mozzarella slices.
Drizzle with more olive oil. You can sprinkle on flaky sea salt, pepper and more herbs if you like. Then top with basil leaves. If you want, drizzle on some balsamic glaze!
Fold the top over and voila!
A very simple, delicious Italian sandwich. This is perfect for a picnic, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and you’re good to go! I hope you give this sandwich a try! Take care and be well, xo Kelly
