What is a Panuozzo?

Before we dive into the recipe, let’s understand what exactly a panuozzo is. Originating from the beautiful region of Campania in Italy, a panuozzo is a stuffed sandwich made with pizza dough. It’s similar to a panini but with a softer and doughier texture.

Ingredients

To make the perfect panuozzo, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • For the pizza dough:
    • 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast
    • 1 teaspoon of salt
    • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
    • 1 cup of warm water
  • For the stuffing:
    • Thinly sliced deli meats (such as salami, ham, or turkey)
    • Fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
    • Cherry tomatoes, halved
    • Arugula or spinach
    • Basil leaves
    • Olive oil
    • Balsamic vinegar
    • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Follow these steps to stuff your panuozzo:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt for the pizza dough. Make a well in the center and add the olive oil and warm water. Mix until a soft dough forms and knead it for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  3. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking stone or sheet inside to heat up.
  4. Punch down the dough and divide it into smaller portions. Roll each portion into an oval shape, approximately ¼ inch thick.
  5. Place your chosen deli meats on one half of the oval-shaped dough, leaving a border around the edges. Add the sliced mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, arugula or spinach, and basil leaves on top. Season with salt, pepper, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. You can also add your favorite ingredients!
  6. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal it. You can also crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative touch.
  7. Transfer the stuffed panuozzo onto the hot baking stone or sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing it into sections. Serve hot and enjoy!
