Ingredients
250g 00 Flour | |
250g Manitoba Wheat Flour (Bread / High Protein flour) | |
285ml Water (lukewarm) | |
8ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil | |
3g Instant Yeast | |
5g Sugar | |
16g Salt | |
250g Galbani Mozzarella Cheese | |
200g Cirio Passata Tomato Puree | |
½ tsp Oregano | |
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil |
Instructions
- Mix the 00 flour & manitoba wheat, then add yeast, sugar & then add half of the water.
- Once well mixed in, add 10g salt, & remaining water gradually. Add 8ml Olive oil & continue to mix until dough has combined.
- Knead the dough until nice and smooth. Shape into a long sausage.
- Cut the dough into 12 parts, about 80g each then fold and roll them into balls. Place them on a lined tray & cover cloth to rise for 1.5 hrs.
- Next, cut the mozzarella into small cubes & drain in a sieve.
- In a pot, heat 1 tbsp olive oil & add in the tomato puree and 6g salt, cook for 15 mins stirring occasionally.
- Transfer the sauce into a bowl, & add in the oregano, stir well then leave it to cool.
- Once the dough has risen, sprinkle a little flour on your surface then roll & flatten each ball out into a circle with even thickness.
- Pour 1 tbsp of tomato sauce in the centre of the circle, then put in some mozzarella cheese.
- Fold the dough in a crescent moon shape, seal the ends carefully & trim the edge with a pizza cutter. Be sure to not trim it too close to the filling to avoid spillage while frying.
- Heat up some oil in a pot at 170°c & carefully fry each Panzerotti until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
