Pizette


1. Sprinkle the yeast over warm water in a small bowl.

2. Let stand until dissolved.

3. Beat the eggs and butter at high speed until blended.

4. Add the yeast, 3 cups of the flour and the salt.

5. Mix until incorporated.

6. Continue mixing the dough, adding small amounts of flour, until it forms a stiff dough.

7. Turn out on a lightly floured surface and knead, ading flour as necessary, until smooth and elastic.

8. Cover the dough and let it rest at room temperature with making the filling.

9. In a large bowl beat the egg until foamy.

10. Add the ricotta and parmesan and mix well.

11. Stir in the mozzarella and salami.

12. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8" thick.

13. Cut 3" circles from the dough and place 1 tablespoon filling on each circle.

14. Moisten the edges of the pastry and fold over to make half-moon shaped pockets.

15. Press or crimp the edges of the pastry to seal.

16. Place the pizettes, as they are made, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

17. Cover the completed bundles with a clean towel and set aside until slightly puffed, about 20 minutes.

18. While pizettes are rising, heat the vegetable oil to a full 350 degrees.

19. Gently place a few bundles at a time in the hot oil.

20. Do not overcrowd the pizette as they will not brown properly.

21. Fry, turning regularly, for about 4 minutes, until golden brown and all side.

22. Remove and drain on paper towels.
