HAM, CHEDDAR, AND APPLE BUTTER OPEN-FACED SANDWICHES (OR PIZZA)
This is published in the October 2004 Bon Appetit as open-faced sandwiches, but I make this as a 12-inch pizza (a big, round, open-faced sandwich?). I wasn't sure whether we would like the sweetness of the apple butter, but there is enough savory/salty flavor in the rest of the recipe that it works well (I probably used more Dijon, though, and less apple butter, than called for in the recipe). In pizza format, it is good with some sauteed onion and some very well wrung out thawed frozen spinach added. I think this is a recipe that depends a lot on the types of ingredients used; since it has the apple butter, sweeter mustards and milder cheeses would probably not be as good. The relative proportions of Dijon and apple butter (and meat and cheese) can be adjusted for personal taste.

Steps:
- Brush cut side of rolls with oil.
- Place rolls, cut side up, on baking sheet, and broil until rolls begin to brown around edges, about 2 minutes. For pizza, use crust of choice, brush with a light coating of oil, and prebake.
- Spread apple butter and mustard on each roll half. For pizza, spread the mustard over the whole crust and add the apple butter as small dollops (over whole crust).
- Top with ham, then cheese (if using onion/spinach addition, add after ham or any desired order).
- Broil until cheese melts and begins to brown in spots (2 minutes for sandwiches; if baking a pizza, probably 7 to 8 minutes--not under broiler--are fine depending on the directions for the dough used). It is good if some of the edges of the sliced meat get a little singed!
- Optional: sprinkle with chopped chives. Black pepper is a good addition at the end as well.

Steps:
- Make the dough: Pour warm water into a large bowl; sprinkle with yeast, and let stand untilfoamy, about 5 minutes. Whisk oil, sugar, and 2 teaspoons salt into yeast mixture. Add flour,and stir until a sticky dough forms. Turn out dough onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth, about 8 minutes. Transfer to an oiled bowl, and turn to coat.

Top with 4 slices soppressata. Tear off pieces of mozzarella, and place over top. Fold dough over to enclose filling, but do not seal. Repeat with remaining dough, tomatoes, goat cheese, soppressata, and mozzarella (arranging 4 sandwiches per baking sheet). Bake until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
- Meanwhile, toss arugula and basil with lemon juice and remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoonsoil. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right bread. A sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings is essential. Ciabatta, French bread, and sourdough are all good choices.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the sandwich will be. Look for fresh vegetables, flavorful meats, and cheeses that melt well.
- Don't overload the sandwich. Too many fillings will make it difficult to eat and may cause the bread to get soggy.
- Toast the bread before assembling the sandwich. This will help to keep the bread from getting soggy and also add a nice flavor.
- Use a variety of toppings. Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. Some classic options include pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, and peppers. You can also add your own favorite toppings, such as bacon, avocado, or pineapple.
- Melt the cheese properly. The cheese should be melted all the way through, but not so much that it becomes rubbery. The best way to melt cheese is to use a low heat and cover the sandwich so that the cheese melts evenly.
- Serve the sandwich immediately. Pizza sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. If you need to make them ahead of time, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Pizza sandwiches are a delicious and easy way to enjoy your favorite pizza flavors. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect pizza sandwiches at home. So next time you're craving pizza, try making a pizza sandwich instead. You won't be disappointed!
