Sandwich Assembly

Instructions
- 1In a bowl, combine flour, dry yeast, cold water, and olive oil; mix lightly until a smooth dough forms.
- 2Add salt and knead for 10–15 minutes until the dough is elastic.
- 3Let the dough rise for 2 hours at room temperature until doubled in size.

- 8While the dough bakes, roast pistachios lightly in a dry pan, then let them cool.
- 9Pulse pistachios, grated parmesan, garlic, and fresh basil in a food processor until coarse.
- 10With the processor running, slowly drizzle in extra‑virgin olive oil until a thick pesto forms.
- 11Season the pesto with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice; adjust to taste.
- 12Open the baked pizza dough and spread a generous layer of pistachio pesto.
- 13Top with mortadella slices, place the burrata ball in the center, and add a handful of arugula.
