Mixed Neapolitans are a type of biscuit or stuffed bread that are perfect to eat for breakfast. This is characterized by its slightly crispy crust, soft biscuit and whose finish is golden and appetizing.
The advantage of the Neapolitans is that you can make them and keep them for two or three days for the family breakfast. In this way, you will only have to heat it and serve with the drink or companion of your choice.
Next, we will explain how to make it easily and with few ingredients.
Ingredients of the mixed Neapolitans
520 grams of commonly used wheat flour.
A tablespoon of salt.
A tablespoon of sugar.
25 grams of fresh baker's yeast.
150 milliliters of warm water.
150 milliliters of warm milk.
60 milliliters of olive oil.
Cooked ham cold cut, necessary quantity.
Yellow or paisa cheese slices, necessary quantity.
An egg to paint the biscuits.
Grated cheese, amount needed.
Steps for the preparation of mixed Neapolitans
Preparation of the dough
In a large bowl or bowl, pour the wheat flour and then add the tablespoon of salt to one side so that it does not come into contact with the yeast. Cover the salt with the flour.
Make a hole in the center of the flour to add the rest of the ingredients.
Add a tablespoon of sugar and the fresh yeast. Then add the water and milk to activate the yeast. Dissolve yeast in milk and water.
Once the yeast is dissolved, add the olive oil and mix everything, integrating the flour.
With the help of a palette, knead until you can no longer use it.
Flour a clean, flat surface and dump the dough onto it.
Knead vigorously with your hands for approximately 10 minutes.
When you notice that the dough is smooth and no longer sticks to your hands, shape it into a ball and let it rest in a floured bowl for 1 to 2 hours or until it doubles in size.
Make the shape of the buns
After the previous time, dump the dough on a clean and previously floured surface and knead to deflate it.
Shape the dough into a ball and flatten it a bit. Then, with the help of a spatula, cut the dough into 8 portions.
Shape each of the portions you have removed into a ball, inserting the dough inwards.
Flatten the balls, leaving the smooth side down and leaving a nice rectangular shape.
Place a slice of ham, then a slice of cheese on top and another slice of ham. The ideal is to leave a space of two fingers from the edge of where you place the slices.
Fold the bottom edge and the left and right sides in. With this, you should have an open envelope shape and with this what you do is seal the edges.
Once the dough is in this shape, roll the dough from the bottom up, and before you finish rolling, brush the edge with room temperature water and finish rolling. Press to flatten slightly when finished rolling
Repeat steps 4 to 7 with all the balls and let the Neapolitans rest on an oven-safe tray prepared with waxed paper.
Neapolitan baking
Once you have all the Neapolitans ready, let them rest for approximately 30 minutes in the tray where you are going to bake them.
Beat an egg and with this, proceed to paint the Neapolitans once they have increased in size. Do it very gently so as not to puncture the Neapolitans and that they do not deflate.
Sprinkle some grated cheese on top of the Neapolitans. You can use the variety of cheese that you like the most.
Take the Neapolitans to the oven preheated to 200º C, with heat up and down. Let them bake for about 20 minutes or until they are very golden brown.
After 20 minutes, remove the napolitanas from the oven and let them rest on a wire rack.
Recipe Recommendations and Variations
Add a little cooked bacon to each of the Neapolitans for a more delicious flavor.
To offer a different flavor, add smoked ham instead of the traditional back ham.
If you prefer to make these sweet biscuits, fill them with chocolate bars, instead of ham and cheese.
Opt to sprinkle Parmesan cheese instead of regular grated cheese.
If you want a taste closer to pizza, you can add some tomato paste along with the ham and cheese.
What can I accompany the Neapolitans with?
These Neapolitans are perfect for breakfast, but their filling is very complete, so the ideal thing is that you only accompany them with a drink. In fact, a good option is to accompany it with coffee, cappuccino or hot chocolate.
In case you want to accompany it with something else, you can add some cream cheese or scrambled eggs. On the other hand, if you prefer to accompany it with a cold drink, you can opt for the juice of your choice.
How to preserve the Neapolitans?
Before explaining this, it should be noted that the Neapolitans do not keep for a long time, as the ham and cheese go bad quickly. In fact, it is recommended to eat them in a maximum of two or three days. In addition, before eating them, it is necessary to heat them in the microwave.
Having established the above, the ideal is to keep the Neapolitans in a hermetically sealed plastic or glass container. Also, unless you live in a very cold area, you should keep them in the refrigerator.
