History of the Neapolitan panuozzo

The Neapolitan panuozzo is a typical sandwich of the culinary tradition of Naples, a city famous for its gastronomic delicacies. This delicious street food was born as a variant of the Neapolitan stuffed sandwich, characterized by a soft bread and a filling full of flavors.

The history of panuozzo dates back to the 1970s, when some Neapolitan bakers had the intuition to replace traditional bread with a softer and tastier version. Initially, panuozzo was prepared using the bread from the stuffed sandwich, but it soon became a food in its own right.

In the following years, the Neapolitan panuozzo conquered the hearts of the Neapolitans and spread throughout the Campania region. Today it is considered a true symbol of Neapolitan street food culture.

To make about 8 panuozzi of 200 gr

Ingredienti

  • 1 kg Bread Flour

  • 680 gr Cold refrigerator water

  • 3 gr Fresh brewer’s yeast or 1 dry

  • 25 gr Salt

  • COME FARCIRE I PANINI
  • Cured meats of your choice (salami, cooked ham, mortadella)

  • Cheeses of your choice (mozzarella, provola)

  • fresh tomatoes

  • mixed salad

  • Extra virgin olive oil

  • Salt and Pepper To Taste.

Preparazione

  • A spiral machine was used for the dough but it can be done both by hand and with a planetary mixer.
    In a spiral Eliani Es6-Var starting with the flour and baking powder, turned at low speed for a couple of minutes
  • Then add 90% of the water and await absorption by slightly increasing the speed (105 rpm). Once absorbed, add the salt and slowly add the remaining missing water, increasing the speed to 125 rpm.
  • In 18 minutes dough closed, 25°.
  • I form a single loaf and put it in a closed oiled container for 1 hour at room temperature.
  • After that I put it in the fridge for 16 hours
  • Removed from the fridge, cut after 30 minutes and placed in starch for 6 hours and 30 minutes,
  • Took 3 panielli weighing about 220 grams (with the others I made Neapolitans) spread without creating a ledge, giving an elongated shape.
  • Baked in Effeuno p134h at 400°, when it swells well I placed the paddle on the upper part of the Neapolitan panuozzo to prevent it from burning by going too close to the upper heating element.PANUOZZO NAPOLETANO
