Recipe Description
The Panuozzo Sandwich is a traditional Italian delight from the Campania region. Made with pizza dough, it’s baked until crispy, then stuffed with fresh mozzarella, savory prosciutto, and seasonal vegetables.

Ingredients
- 250g pizza dough
- 150g fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 100g prosciutto
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- Handful of fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 220°C (430°F). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
- Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough into an oval shape about 1cm thick.
- Bake the base: Place the dough on a baking tray or pizza stone and bake for 10 minutes until puffed and slightly golden.
- Prepare the filling: While the dough is baking, slice the mozzarella, tomato, and prepare the prosciutto and basil.
- Assemble the sandwich: Remove the baked dough from the oven and carefully slice it horizontally to create a pocket. Layer the mozzarella, prosciutto, tomato slices, and basil inside.
- Finish baking: Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and return to the oven for 5 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Serve: Slice the sandwich into portions and serve warm.
