Pssst…hey, y’all! If you’re looking for a quick and easy recipe that’ll transport you straight to Italy, I’ve got just the thing for you. Check out these delicious Panzerotti Italiens, ready in just 5 minutes!
Ingredients:
- 1 package of pre-made pizza dough (or make your own if you’re feeling fancy)
- 1 cup of your favorite marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional)
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- Preheat vegetable oil in a large saucepan to 375°F (190°C).
- On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into 4-inch circles.
- In a small bowl, mix together marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Place about 1 tablespoon of the marinara mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, and use a fork to crimp the edges.
- Carefully place the panzerotti in the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove the panzerotti from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
