Panzerotti with Tomatoes & Mozzarella

In the cookbook 'Globi's Italian Kitchen', Gualtiero Marchesi reveals his recipe for these little filled dumplings from Apulia.

For the Panzerotti:

Ingredients (12 servings)
450 g pizza dough (see below)
16 small or cherry tomatoes, quartered
300 g mozzarella, cut into cubes
20 basil leaves, torn
  • Divide the pizza dough into 12 balls and roll them out into circles (10 cm in diameter).
  • Place the tomatoes, mozzarella and basil in the centre of the circles.
  • Fold the circles in half to form a crescent. Press the edges together and crimp down with a fork.
  • Bake in the centre of a preheated oven at 220°C for 15-20 minutes and place on a large platter. Panzerotti are a hit at every party!

5 g fast acting yeast
1/2 teaspoon(s) sugar
150 ml water
