Description
Panuozzo is a traditional sandwich bread from Campania, baked in the style of pizza dough and prized for its light yet structured crumb. This 250g par-baked version is ready to finish in the oven, creating a crisp outer crust with a soft, airy interior.
Made for filling generously, its elongated shape is perfect for classic Italian combinations such as mozzarella and Parma ham, grilled vegetables, porchetta or meatballs in tomato sauce. The texture holds warmth and juices beautifully without becoming heavy.
Designed for ambient storage, it offers flexibility for busy kitchens and food-to-go menus. Simply bake to order, slice and fill for a satisfying sandwich with true Italian character.
Each base is packed in protective, recyclable packaging with an ambient shelf life of 1-2 months from date of purchase. Store in a cool, dry place — no chilled storage required.

Cooking instructions
Oven bake (recommended)
Preheat the oven to 200–220°C (fan 190–200°C). Place the panuozzo directly on the middle shelf and bake for 6–10 minutes until the crust is crisp and lightly golden. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and filling.
For a crisper finish
Once filled, return to the oven for 2–3 minutes to warm through and lightly toast the interior. This works particularly well with mozzarella, grilled vegetables or cured meats.
Professional tip
Because the bread is already part-baked, you are finishing rather than fully baking. Avoid over-baking, as the crust can firm up quickly. The ideal result is a crisp exterior with a soft, airy centre ready to absorb flavour from the filling.
