What Is A Muffaletta Made Of?

A Muffaletta is a famous New Orleans Sandwich made on a round loaf of Italian bread. It contains various meats and cheeses usually including ham, mortadella, salami, and provolone.

Whole pizza and a bowl of olive salad.

Olive Salad

The signature part of a muffaletta is the olive salad and it is what makes this muffaletta pizza recipe outstanding. You’ll spread some of it directly on the pizza dough and then add some more as a topping. If possible, make the olive salad a day in advance so the flavors have time to marry.

Pizza Dough

You will need about 1 pound of fresh pizza dough for this recipe. Either make some yourself or buy some at the grocery store. Most grocery stores have started carrying pizza dough. You can usually find it in a refrigerator in the deli section.

Ingredients

Olive Salad

Pizza

Equipment Pizza Stone, Pizza Paddle

Steps

  1. 1

    Mix all ingredients for olive salad. Refrigerate until needed.

  2. 2

    You will need to make your pizza dough a day in advance, refrigerate it and bring it to room temperature for 90 minutes. You will want a ball of dough that is about 8 ounces for each pizza.

  3. 3

    Preheat oven to 500 degrees or as hot as it will go with a pizza stone in the oven.

  4. 4

    Use your fingers to press the disk of dough out some and then let it rest for 5 minutes before proceeding. If it gets to where it doesn't want to stretch anymore, let it rest a few minutes.

  5. 5

    Spread about 1/4 cup of olive mixture on pizza dough, being sure to get as much of the liquid as possible. It will flavor the dough and take the place of a sauce.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella on top.

  7. 7

    Scatter sliced provolone cheese and meat on top.

  8. 8

    Finish with about another 1/4 cup olive salad sprinkled on top.

  9. 9

    Use a paddle to transfer pizza to pizza stone and cook until cheese is melted and crust is brown, about 5 -10 minutes depending on how hot your oven is.
