BEST PANZEROTTI RECIPE

Steps:

• Whisk together yeast, sugar and warm water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

• In a medium mixing bowl, mix together tomatoes, cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper.

• Add about 2 tablespoons of filling and 3-4 pepperoni to each piece.
• Brush the edges of the dough with water and fold the dough to create a semi-circle.
• Pinch the edges to seal the pocket. Repeat the process for the rest of the dough.
• Pour oil (about 1 inch) into a deep skillet and heat the oil to 350°.
• Once hot, add a few panzerotti pockets to the skillet. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, turning every minute until both sides are golden brown. (Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.)
