Preparation and Cooking

Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and gradually add water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Roll Out the Dough
After the dough has rested, roll it out on a floured surface until thin (about 1/8 inch thick). Cut into squares or circles, depending on your preferred shape.

Fill the Panzotti
Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each piece of dough. Fold over and seal the edges well to prevent filling from leaking out.

Cook the Panzotti
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the panzotti in batches for about 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.
