Pizza Fritta Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in frying pan.
• Break off ~2" pieces of dough.
• Place in hot oil, cook until done (around 3-5 min and turning once).
• Place on paper towel and let drain (1 min).
• Sprinkle with granulated sugar.
• Cut open and place in a teaspoon of jelly (optional), or just eat them as is.
• --OR--.
• Do not add sugar/jelly - let cool and just cut open place sauce/cheese/meat/whatever inside then bake in oven for ~3-5min (until done). It's like having an extra good hot pocket LOL.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat up extra-virgin olive oil for the tomato sauce. Add the crushed tomatoes, garlic, salt and basil. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Divide dough into 8 equal parts. Stretch and flatten out each piece with your hands to create little pizzas.
• In a large pan, heat the extra-virgin olive oil on high heat. Gently place each piece of dough in the hot oil and cook for about a minute on each side. Once the dough is puffy and golden brown on both sides, remove them from the pan and place on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
• Remove any raw garlic, if desired, from the tomato sauce and spoon sauce onto the fried dough. Top with freshly grated pecorino cheese, and serve immediately.
• For a sweet version: drizzle honey on the fried dough, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Whisk the eggs and egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until curds begin to form, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the broiler; broil until set but not browned, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Spread the marinara sauce over the eggs, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with the mozzarella, pepperoni and parmesan. Return to the broiler until the cheese is bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Whisk the vinegar with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the salad greens and bell pepper; toss. Sprinkle the frittata with basil and cut into wedges. Serve with the salad and bread.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring often, until soft, about 5 minutes. Cool completely.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons water. Stir in onion and 3/4 cup mozzarella.
• In skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add egg mixture; reduce heat to low, and cook until beginning to set around the edges, about 3 minutes. Transfer to oven; bake until set, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over low heat. Cook garlic until soft, 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, mint, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; simmer, breaking up tomatoes with a spoon, 5 minutes.
• Spoon sauce over frittata; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Return to oven; cook until cheese melts, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• If not using instant yeast, allow yeast to activate with 1.5 cups of the warm water according to the directions on the packet (about 10-15 minutes). If using instant yeast, just combine it with the dry ingredients.
• Combine all remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and add water/yeast mixture. If you choose to use the anchovy paste, add it here.
• Mix until smooth. A wire whisk works well for this. Dough will be very wet and somewhat runny.
• Set dough in a warm (90-100 degree F) place to rise (covered with a moist dish towel), and allow to rise for two hours.
• Heat oil in an electric skillet or large, deep saucepan to between 450-500 degrees F. The skillet/saucepan should be at least 2 inches deep, with the first inch filled with oil. The larger the pan, the more you'll be able to fry at once.
• Once the dough is risen and oil is hot, use a tablespoon to place bits of the dough into the oil to fry. Wetting the spoon in water between dips is a great way to keep the dough from sticking to the spoon.
• Fry the dough until lightly golden brown on each side (flip each dough ball at least once). If the oil is hot enough, cooking time shouldn't be much more than 2-3 minutes.
• Once the dough has cooked to a light golden brown, remove from oil and allow to cool/drain on a cookie sheet lined with either brown paper bags or paper towels.
• Once cooled enough to touch, serve with a bowl of sugar on the side for dipping.
