PIZZE FRITTE
By Marco Sarli, owner Oasis http://www.oasishanoi.net
INGREDIENTS FOR THE DOUGH: 2 cups lukewarm water 2 teaspoons dried yeast Pinch of caster sugar 4 cups plain flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup olive oil
Combine the water, yeast, sugar and 2 tablespoons of flour in a small bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes or until foamy. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the yeast mixture and oil. Use your hands to bring the dough together in the bowl. Add a bit of water if the dough gets hard. Brush a bowl lightly with oil. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Place in the prepared bowl and turn to coat in oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rise until dough doubles in size. INGREDIENTS FOR THE FILLING 500 gr ricotta 250 gr mozzarella 200 gr spicy salami cubed (Neapolitan Salsiccia piccante is better) pepper salt Oil for frying Divide the dough in 8 pieces and prepare small balls. Put on a floured tray, cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Cut the mozzarella into cubes, mix with a fork ricotta, mozzarella, salami, pepper and salt. Flour your hands and take a ball and flatten starting from the center. Spread it with your fingers trying to maintain a uniform thickness. Pour a spoonful of cheese and salami mixture in the center and close the dough over itself. Seal the edges pressing hard with the side of your hand. Pressed repeatedly to close very well. Do not fold the edges, just press. When the oil is hot stretch a bit the corners of the pizza and fry until golden brown on one side first then the other. The pizza will puff up so leave space in the pan. Eat as they are or topped with some tomato sauce and Parmigiano.
