  • Ingredients

  • 3 cups 375 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp 7 g instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup 60 ml olive oil
  • 1 cup 240 ml warm water
  • For the Filling:
  • 1 cup 250 g mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup 120 g ricotta cheese

  • 1/4 cup 40 g grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • For the Topping:
  • 1 egg beaten
  • Sesame seeds optional

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Step 1: Prepare the Dough
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Mix well.
  • Add olive oil and warm water gradually while stirring until a rough dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 45 minutes or until it doubles in size.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Filling
  • While the dough is rising, mix mozzarella, ricotta, tomato sauce, Parmesan, and oregano in a bowl.
  • Add any optional ingredients like diced ham, salami, or vegetables. Stir until evenly combined.
  • Step 3: Shape the Panzerotti
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.
  • Roll each portion into a 5-inch (12 cm) circle on a lightly floured surface.
  • Place 1–2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each circle.
  • Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Seal the edges by pressing firmly and crimping with a fork.
  • Step 4: Bake the Panzerotti
  • Arrange the panzerotti on the prepared baking tray.
  • Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Step 5: Serve
  • Let the panzerotti cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
  • Serve warm as an appetizer or with a side salad for a light meal.
  • Variations, Tips, and Substitutions
  • Variations:
  • Swap mozzarella for provolone or Gouda for a richer taste.
  • Use a meat-free filling like sautéed spinach and mushrooms for vegetarians.
