PIZZADILLA (GRILLED PIZZA SANDWICH)
I was watching TV the other day, and I saw a commercial for something called a Papadilla. What follows is my attempt to make one of these things. What this relatively fast and easy procedure allows you to do is make a single portion of what's very, very close to pizza in a pan on top of the stove in just a few minutes, without ever having to turn on the oven. Serve your pizzadilla with a side salad topped with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

Steps:
- Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 1/8-inch thick circle on a lightly floured surface.
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat and brush with oil. Add 1 piece of dough and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 2 minutes and flip. Spread 1/4 of the sauce over the dough. Sprinkle 1/4 of the mozzarella cheese and some sausage, mushrooms, and red onion on top, leaving about 1/2 inch of dough around the outside. Press gently into the middle of the dough with a spatula to make a crease; fold in half.
- Brush crust with a little more olive oil and flip over. Repeat on the other side and continue cooking until both sides of the pizzadilla are as browned and crisp as you like.
- Repeat with remaining pizza dough and toppings. Cut each pizzadilla in half and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler.
- Heat the butter and oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Spread a few tablespoons pizza sauce on the tortilla, leaving a little room around the edges. Sprinkle half of the provolone and half of the fontina over the sauce. Sprinkle a third of the mozzarella next, followed by 1 tablespoon Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon oregano.
- Top with the second tortilla and press it down gently. Once the underside is perfectly toasted, carefully flip the quesadilla to the other side.
- Spread a few more tablespoons pizza sauce on the toasted side of the tortilla, being sure to leave a little bit of the edges exposed so it looks like a pizza. Sprinkle with another third of the mozzarella and the remaining provolone, fontina, Parmesan and oregano.
- Arrange the red bell pepper and red onion on top of the cheeses like you would on a pizza. Do the same with the pepperoni slices and the olives. Top with the remaining mozzarella.
- Transfer the pan to the broiler and let cook to melt the cheese on top, about 2 minutes. Carefully transfer the pizzadilla to a cutting board using a large spatula or two smaller spatulas.
- Warm up the remaining pizza sauce and serve in a bowl for dipping. Cut the pizzadilla into wedges and garnish with the torn basil.

Steps:

Next turn on your broiler in your oven and set the top shelf so it is about 4-6 inches from the broiler flame. 2. Lay a large flour tortilla on a pizza paddle with small bubbles down. Spread half of sauce evenly over tortilla all the way to the edges. Spread half of low fat mozzarella and half of Parmesan evenly over tortilla all the way to the edges. 3. Place a second flour tortilla over with, again with small bubbles on the bottom. Place on Emil Henri stone on the BBQ and let bake for about 1 1/2 minutes until bottom is browned. Flip over and bake another 1 1/2 minutes. Take the tortillas off the BBQ with a pizza paddle and slide onto a cookie sheet. 4. Now top with remaining sauce, Parmesan, low fat mozzarella and fresh mozzarella. Add pepperoni and torn basel. Place cookie sheet under broiler and broil until pepperoni is cooked (so it is a bit brown around the edges) and cheese is melted and starting to brown in spots, 2 to 4 minutes. DO NOT CLOSE THE OVEN DOOR! 5. Slide pizza out onto a cutting board. Cut and serve immediately.
Tips for Making the Best Pizzadilla:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your pizzadilla. Opt for a good quality pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
- Don't overload the pizzadilla: Too many toppings can make your pizzadilla soggy and difficult to fold. Stick to a few simple, flavorful toppings that will complement each other.
- Cook the pizzadilla until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will ensure that the pizzadilla is cooked through and the cheese is gooey and delicious.
- Serve the pizzadilla immediately: Pizzadilla is best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the oven. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can reheat it in the oven or toaster oven before serving.
