Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. Add warm water and olive oil, then knead the dough until smooth. Let it rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    Chop the fresh mozzarella and cherry tomatoes into small pieces. In a bowl, combine mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, basil leaves, balsamic glaze, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Pita Pies

    Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a flat circle. Place a spoonful of the filling on one half of the circle, then fold over and seal the edges securely.

  4. 4

    Fry the Pita Pies

    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry each filled pita pie for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
