Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 500 grams Pizza Dough Forms the chewy, blistered base of the sandwich
  • 200 grams Mozzarella Cheese, shredded For creamy, melty richness
  • 1 large pepper Roasted Red Peppers, sliced Adds a sweet, smoky layer
  • 1 medium Zucchini, sliced and grilled Provides earthy tenderness
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Enhances flavor and crisps the top
  • 1 handful Fresh Basil Leaves Brings freshness and aroma
  • ½ teaspoon Salt Balances and enhances flavors
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper Adds gentle heat

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 475°F with a pizza stone or tray inside.
  2. Prepare the roasted vegetables, shred the cheese, and wash the basil.
  3. Roll out the pizza dough into an oval and place it on parchment dusted with semolina.
Cooking
  1. Bake the dough for 8 minutes, then slice it open and fill it with cheese, roasted veggies, and basil.
  2. Return the sandwich to the oven and bake for another 6–8 minutes until golden and melted.
  3. Allow the sandwich to rest for 5 minutes, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt.
  4. Slice and serve hot with optional tomato sauce on the side.

Notes

To store leftovers, place the sandwich in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven for the best results. Frozen unbaked sandwiches can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil; bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
