Pizza Fritta Recipe

Directions for Making Pizza Fritta

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into rounds using a large cookie cutter or a glass.

2. 2

   Fill the Dough

   Place a slice of Taleggio cheese, a piece of prosciutto, and a spoonful of pickled apricots in the center of each round.

3. 3

   Seal the Dough

   Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal tightly, using a fork to crimp the edges if desired.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

5. 5

   Fry the Pizza Fritta

   Carefully add the filled dough to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

6. 6

   Drain and Season

   Remove the fried pizza fritta from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve hot, garnished with additional pickled apricots if desired.
