Fried pizza

Pizza fritta, also known as fried pizza, is a popular street food that originated in Naples, Italy. It is made by taking a ball of pizza dough, flattening it into a disc, adding tomato sauce, cheese, and various toppings, folding it into a half-moon shape, and deep-frying it until it becomes crispy and golden brown. While it may not be as well-known as its baked counterpart, pizza fritta is a delicious and satisfying treat that has been enjoyed by people in Naples for centuries. Today, it can be found in many cities around the world, often served as a quick and easy snack or appetizer.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 kg of flour
• 12 g of brewer’s yeast
• Warm water
• Salt to taste
• 2 small peeled tomatoes
• 1 clove of garlic, chopped into small pieces
• Oil to taste
• Pecorino cheese to taste
• 1 liter of oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and brewer’s yeast. Add a pinch of salt and enough warm water to form a smooth and elastic dough. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, until it becomes soft and pliable.
2. Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest in a warm place for at least 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
3. In a pan, heat a generous amount of oil and add the peeled tomatoes and garlic. Cook until the tomatoes break down and the garlic is fragrant. Season with salt and remove from heat.
4. Once the dough has risen, divide it into small balls and flatten them into discs with a rolling pin. Place a spoonful of the tomato and garlic mixture onto one half of the disc, add some grated pecorino cheese and fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together to seal.
5. Heat up the oil for frying in a deep pot. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the pizza fritta to the pot and fry until golden brown on both sides.
6. Remove the pizza fritta from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
7. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious pizza fritta!
