Ingredients

  1. dough
  2. 500 g (3 3/4 cups)bread flour or 00 flour
  3. 325 g (1 1/3 cups)water (65% hydration)
  4. 10 g (2 tsp)salt
  5. 2 g (1/2 tsp)active dry yeast or 5g fresh yeast
  6. 10 g (2 tsp)olive oil (optional, for dough softness)
  7. sandwich
  8. 1 tbspolive oil (for folding dough before baking)
  9. 3–4 slices good quality prosciutto per sandwich
  10. 1large handful fresh arugula
  11. Juice of ¼ lemon
  12. Olive oil, salt & pepper (for arugula)
  13. 1ball of fresh burrata
  14. 1/2 cuproasted red peppers (jarred or homemade)
  15. Balsamic glaze or balsamic vinegar, for drizzling

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix flour, water, salt, and yeast until a sticky dough forms. Knead until smooth and elastic (10 mins by hand or 6 mins in a stand mixer). Let rise for 1–2 hours at room temp or cold ferment in the fridge for up to 48 hours.

  2. 2

    Form into 280G dough balls, then one dough ball and press it into a semi-thin, round pizza shape. Brush one half lightly with olive oil. Fold the other half over like a calzone — this traps air, creating separation and that signature Panouzzo pocket.

  3. 3

    Bake in a 500°F (260°C) oven on a pizza steel (preferred for its heat retention and crisp base) or a stone. Flip it halfway through to ensure even browning. Total bake time: 6–8 minutes or until puffed and golden.

  4. 4

    Remove from the oven and carefully open it up like a pita pocket. You should see air bubbles, char, and soft, steamy interior layers. Let it cool slightly.

  5. 5

    Toss fresh arugula with olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Dressing the greens adds flavor and balances the richness of the cheese and meat.

  6. 6

    Layer in the prosciutto first (don’t be stingy), then add the dressed arugula, followed by torn pieces of burrata. (Burrata looks like mozzarella on the outside but has a creamy stracciatella filling inside.) Finish with sliced roasted red peppers.

  7. 7

    Drizzle with balsamic glaze or vinegar. Close the sandwich, slice if desired, and serve immediately while the inside is still slightly warm.
