What is Mortadella Burrata Pizza Pockets

Slow-risen pizza dough folded around mozzarella and baked hot, then opened and filled with mortadella and burrata, topped with pistachios, parmesan and basil.

How to make Mortadella Burrata Pizza Pockets

Tips from the cook

  • The long rise gives the dough its flavour and puffy texture, so plan ahead and do not shorten it.
  • Heat the pizza stone or baking steel for at least 30 minutes, so the pockets puff and brown fast.
  • Leave a border around the cheese and seal the edges gently, so the filling stays inside.
  • Add the mortadella and burrata only after baking, so they stay cool and creamy.
  • No pistachios? Chopped toasted almonds give a similar crunch.
