"Mortadella is the underdog of deli meats-it's so flavorful, especially when you pair it with a sweet fig spread," says Jeff.

Steps:
- Make the fig spread: Bring the figs, 1 cup water, the balsamic vinegar and sugar to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Simmer until the figs rehydrate and the liquid reduces and thickens, about 15 minutes. Let cool. Once cool, place in a food processor and puree until smooth, 20 to 30 seconds.
- For the sandwich build: Preheat a griddle over medium-low heat or heat a panini press. Split 1 focaccia square in half. Place a thin layer of the fig spread on the inside of both halves. Place a couple slices of cheese on the bottom, then place one-quarter of the mortadella on top. Close the sandwich and lightly brush the outside of the sandwich with olive oil. Cook until golden and warm, about 4 minutes per side on a griddle or about 8 minutes total in a panini press. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Cut each sandwich into quarters to make 16 pieces.

Steps:
- Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water in a bowl; add sugar, stir, and let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.
- Mix 3 1/2 cups flour with rosemary and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Pour the yeast mixture into flour mixture; slowly add 11 ounces warm water and mix until dough holds together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Grease a large glass bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place dough in the bowl, turning once to coat with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place into a cool oven with the oven light on until dough has doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Line a rimless baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour over parchment paper. Turn risen dough onto the parchment paper and flatten it gently with your hands, forming a 9x13-inch rectangle.
- Place baking sheet into the oven, with the oven light on, until dough has risen, another 1 1/2 hours.
- Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over dough and top with coarse sea salt.
- Position your oven rack slightly lower than center, and place a baking stone on the rack.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Gently slide the parchment off of the sheet pan and onto the baking stone.
- Bake dough in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Gently lift the crust using a pizza peel or large spatula and pull the parchment paper out so that the crust is directly on the baking stone.
- Continue to bake until crust is golden brown, 15 to 16 minutes more. Transfer crust to a cooling rack to cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
- Slice the crust into small squares. Cut each square in half horizontally so that you have a top and a bottom. Fold a mortadella slice in half and then in half again; place on top of the pizza bottom. Layer a basil leaf on top of mortadella and top with a mozzarella slice. Add the pizza top and secure with an appetizer pick. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Steps:
- Holding a bread knife parallel to a cutting board, slice focaccia in half. Spread cut sides with mayonnaise and cut each half into 2" squares. Working one at a time, drape mortadella onto squares, top with peperoncini, and secure with skewers.

- Slice the mortadella thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a good quality olive oil: This will add flavor and richness to the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the mortadella in batches if necessary to prevent it from steaming instead of frying.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best enjoyed hot out of the pan.
