Bread, Mezzo Panuozzo (x2)

Originating from Gragnano, a historic town south of Naples, this Mezzo Panuozzo offers a classic taste of Campania’s rich street-food heritage. Handcrafted from authentic sourdough pizza dough and shaped into a traditionally sized 25 to 30 centimeter sandwich base, this set of two par-baked breads brings regional Italian tradition straight to your kitchen.

Baking yields a golden, blistered crust with a satisfying crunch wrapping a soft, airy, and pleasantly chewy interior. Its porous structure and slight yeast complexity allow it to hold rich, warm fillings effortlessly, creating a perfectly balanced bite that stays crisp on the outside while absorbing flavorful oils and juices.

Preparation Instructions: 

1. Slice the Panuozzo horizontally along its length. 
2. Fill with your favorite savory ingredients. 
3. Warm in a preheated oven at 200°C for 3 to 5 minutes until the bread is crisp and the fillings are warm.

Ideal for stuffed Italian sandwiches, rustic panini, or warm casual lunches, it serves as the ultimate canvas for a traditional combination of sweet tomato passata, Prosciutto di Parma, melted fresh Mozzarella, and torn basil leaves. It also pairs seamlessly with creamy Taleggio, grilled vegetables, or spicy Italian salami.
