Panzerotti

Tasty little filled pillows make a nice appetizer or between meal snack.

:Serves 4:


Here is just a basic filling, but you can fill them with almost anything!


2 Balls Basic Pizza Dough Defrosted

1 1/4 Cups Diced Tomatoes, or Prepared Tomato Sauce

10 oz. Mozzarella Cheese, Thinly Sliced

Salt And Pepper

2 Tablespoons Fresh Basil, Finely Chopped

Oil For Frying


If using fresh tomatoes, place in a small pot and cook until they produce a thick sauce, about 10 minutes. Take the prepared dough after the first rising, and shape it into a long loaf, and divide it into 12 parts. Roll each of these parts on a lightly floured surface into a 3-4 inch diameter circle. Place a spoonful of tomato mixture on each circle, sprinkle with fresh basil, salt and pepper and cover with a slice of mozzarella. Lightly moisten the edges with water and pinch to seal. Fry in batches until golden brown. Drain well on paper towels and serve hot.


Buon Appetito!
