HOW TO MAKE A PANZEROTTI

Steps:

• Add the olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to the bowl. Add an additional cup of warm water.
• Add the all-purpose flour to the mixture one-half cup at a time. Stir with your wooden spoon as you add flour.
• Continue stirring with the spoon until the dough starts to come away from the sides of your bowl.
• Flour a clean hard surface lightly. Turn the dough out. Knead it for eight minutes. Add extra flour if the dough is too sticky.
• Roll the flour into a ball. Pour 1/2 tsp. of olive oil into a new, clean bowl. Place the dough ball in the bowl and roll it around till it's covered.
• Set the dough aside in a warm place for one hour to rise. Keep it on the counter with a tea towel draped over the top of the bowl.

PANZEROTTI

Steps:

• Pour enough canola or vegetable oil into a large Dutch oven to come 4 to 5 inches up the sides. Clip a deep-fry thermometer to the edge of the pan. Place over medium-high heat and bring to 365 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, place the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once warm, add the tomato puree and cook until bubbling and most water has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Dice the mozzarella and place in a strainer to remove any excess liquid. Set aside.
• Dust a work surface with flour. Roll the pizza dough out until it is 1/4 inch thick. Using a 4- to 5-inch biscuit cutter, cut out rounds. Spread 1 to 2 teaspoons cooled tomato puree on one half of a round. Top with a basil leaf and 1 tablespoon mozzarella. Fold the other half of the round over to enclose the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Continue until all dough is filled and sealed. (At this point you can freeze the panzerotti for up to a month.)
• Drop 2 to 3 panzerotti into the preheated oil and fry until golden, flipping them frequently, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain them on a plate lined with paper towels. Continue until all the panzerotti are cooked. Sprinkle with salt. Eat them hot!

• 1. Make any bread dough Recipe. You may want to double it! Let rise for an hour and punch down. Clean kitchen counter surface and roll out with a rolling pin!To about 1/2" to 3/4 " thickness.
• 2. Next leave some room on the outside circle cause you will want to grab a hold of this to pull over the sauce. (like you would turnovers)
• 3. Spoon sauce on the bread dough add some shredded Mozzarella and pull the flap over and push down with your fingers on the outside to seal it. Cut with knife or pizza cutter. You can set these aside on a floured surface till your oil is heated.

• 5. Place your Panzerotti in the hot oil Try not to get it too hot cause it will burn and cook too fast so medium to medium high heat is likely good. You might be able to fit 3 in at a time, depending on how big you make them. You will see the edges turning a golden brown color flip over and cook till both sides are golden brown. Drain on paper towel.
