The Neapolitan panuozzo is a very famous street food originating from the city of Gragnano, consisting of a mega sandwich made with pizza dough, usually filled with mozzarella, tomato, cold cuts, and grilled vegetables.
Once again, I recommend trying the recipe and, as always, I look forward to your feedback on my Instagram @isaporidicasa.

Preparation of the panuozzo
Place the two flours in the bowl with the yeast and sugar, mix with a spoon. Gradually add lukewarm water and start kneading with a fork. Finally, add the salt, transfer the mixture to the work surface, and knead for a few minutes until you get a soft but compact dough. Place the dough in the bowl greased with a little olive oil, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for 4-5 hours until doubled.
Divide the dough into two equal parts. Take a dough piece and fold the outer edges inward, turn the dough and repeat the operation until forming cylinders. Repeat with the second dough piece.
Place the two cylinders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough pieces with your fingertips or with a rolling pin until they are about 12 inches long and 4 inches wide.
Pass the dough pieces in semolina flour. Place them on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 482°F for 12 minutes.
Remove the panuozzi from the oven and let cool.
Cut the panuozzo in half and drizzle the two halves with a little extra virgin olive oil.
Add the tomato sliced thin, season with a pinch of salt and oregano.
Add the mozzarella sliced thin
Add the grilled eggplants
Finally, add the cooked ham and arugula
Close the sandwich, cut it in half, and enjoy!
