Step 1

Dissolve 1 teaspoon of sugar in 300ml of room temperature water and mix it in a bowl with flour, extra virgin olive oil and yeast.

Step 2

After a couple of minutes, add salt and knead your dough for at least 10 mins or until nice and smooth.

Step 3

Place your dough at the centre of a bowl, cover with clinging film and let it rest for at least a couple of hours.

Step 4

After 2 hours, divide dough into little balls of approximately 70gr each, cover them with a clean cloth and rest for 30 more mins.

Step 5

Let’s make a quick tomato sauce that you will need for the filling of your panzerotti!

Step 6

In a pan, drizzle extra virgin olive oil, add a garlic clove and some freshly chopped basil, then add your tomato passata and season with salt and pepper.

Step 7

Cover with a lid and cook for about 20 mins, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

It’s time to form your panzerotti!

Step 9

Use your fingers to flatten each ball and shape it into a little pizza.

Step 10

Place half a spoon of tomato sauce in the middle and some freshly shredded mozzarella. Close your panzerotti making sure they’re perfectly sealed!

Step 11

I suggest you not to put too much tomato sauce in the middle of your panzerotti, otherwise it will be impossible to close it!

Step 12

Fry your panzerotti in some hot sunflower oil (170C/340F) until nice and golden!

Step 13

Pat your panzerotti dry with some paper towel to remove excess oil and enjoy!

Step 14

Buon appetito!
