Description

Panzerotti are a typical Apulian dish; the most popular are those with mozzarella, cooked ham, and tomato, loved for their flavor and stringy cheese.

The version we propose, although less common, is the sweet panzerotto , equally delicious, which hides a tasty ricotta filling, which can be flavored to taste with lemon juice, almonds or, as in this recipe, chocolate chips.

Instructions

1 To make the sweet panzerotti, start with the dough. Mix together, either by hand or in a stand mixer, the sifted flours, the brewer's yeast (after dissolving it in a glass of water), the sugar, a pinch of salt, the milk, and the water. Once the mixture is smooth, let it rest in a bowl, covered with a tea towel, for about 2 hours.
2 Meanwhile, move on to the filling and take a bowl and combine the ricotta, vanilla pulp, icing sugar, and chocolate chips.
3 Once the resting time is over, roll out the dough and use a pastry cutter to cut out circles, then fill them with the filling, placing a walnut-sized amount in the center and closing them into a half-moon shape to create the panzerotto shape.
4 Then, take a large pan and pour in the seed oil for frying. Once hot, begin adding the panzerotti, turning them when they're golden brown. To remove any excess oil, once fried, place them on a plate lined with paper towels. Let them cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar and they're ready to enjoy!
