Ingredients

Main Ingredients (4 servings)

  • All-purpose flour 240g
  • Potato 80g
  • Egg yolks 2
  • Active dry yeast 2.8g
  • Butter 20g
  • Cooked ham 120g
  • Mozzarella cheese 80g
  • Extra flour for dusting (as needed)
  • Beaten egg (for egg wash) (as needed)
  • Frying oil (as needed)

Seasonings

  • Salt 2.8g
  • Water 80ml

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine 240g all-purpose flour, 2.8g salt, 2.8g active dry yeast, and 80g mashed potato.
  2. Mix these ingredients together first.
  3. Prepare 2 egg yolks and 20g unsalted butter at room temperature.
  4. Add 80ml water to the mixed dry ingredients and stir briefly.
  5. Knead by hand until a dough forms. If the dough is too soft, add a little more all-purpose flour.
  6. Finely chop and mix 80g mozzarella cheese and 120g cooked ham.
  7. Dust your work surface with extra flour (as needed) and roll out the dough to about 2mm thickness, not too thin. This is a key tip! The dough is soft, so working with some flour will help.
  8. Use a round cutter to cut out dough circles. Re-knead and roll out any leftover dough and cut out more circles.
  9. Lightly brush one side of each dough circle with beaten egg (as needed).
  10. Place the chopped cooked ham and mozzarella cheese mixture in the center of the egg-washed side of the dough.
  11. Fold the dough in half and firmly seal the edges.
  12. Dip the tines of a fork in flour and press along the edges of the dough to create a decorative seal.
  13. Heat frying oil (as needed) in a pot to 170-180°C (340-355°F).
  14. Carefully place the shaped dough into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on all sides. This is a key tip! The dough cooks quickly, so pay attention to the oil temperature and fry just until it turns golden.
  15. Arrange the fried panzerotti on a plate.
