Recipe Notes

  • The schiacciata was cut into a long 11x4.5 inch piece, then cut in half once assembled to make 2 sandwiches.
  • There are many types of mortadella you can buy in-store, but the most common one is mortadella that is dotted with peppercorns. In this recipe, I used mortadella that is dotted with pistachios inside as well. You can use whichever mortadella you can find at your grocer or Italian store (will most likely be the one with peppercorns)
