Steps:
- Whisk together yeast, sugar and warm water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Mix together flour and salt. Add oil, yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until the dough just begins to come together. Let the dough rise for about 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.
- While the dough is rising, you can make the panzerotti filling.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix together tomatoes, cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- After the dough is ready, divide it into 6 pieces.
- Press down the ball with your palm. Use a rolling pin to roll each piece into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
- 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.)
- Use a slotted spoon to remove panzerotti and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:
- Pour enough canola or vegetable oil into a large Dutch oven to come 4 to 5 inches up the sides. Clip a deep-fry thermometer to the edge of the pan. Place over medium-high heat and bring to 365 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, place the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once warm, add the tomato puree and cook until bubbling and most water has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Dice the mozzarella and place in a strainer to remove any excess liquid. Set aside.
- Dust a work surface with flour. Roll the pizza dough out until it is 1/4 inch thick. Using a 4- to 5-inch biscuit cutter, cut out rounds. Spread 1 to 2 teaspoons cooled tomato puree on one half of a round. Top with a basil leaf and 1 tablespoon mozzarella. Fold the other half of the round over to enclose the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Continue until all dough is filled and sealed. (At this point you can freeze the panzerotti for up to a month.)
- Drop 2 to 3 panzerotti into the preheated oil and fry until golden, flipping them frequently, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain them on a plate lined with paper towels. Continue until all the panzerotti are cooked. Sprinkle with salt. Eat them hot!

Steps:
- Make the dough: Mix the yeast with 1 1/4 cups warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then add 2 tablespoons olive oil, the raw sugar and sea salt. Whisk and set aside. In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose and whole-wheat flour. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the yeast mixture. Using your hands, mix in the flour until all the liquid is absorbed. Now sprinkle a clean surface with flour and knead the dough until it's smooth. If the dough is too sticky, add some more flour as needed. Once it's smooth, shape the dough into a ball.
- Coat a large ceramic bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil. Place the dough in the ceramic bowl and flip it over a few times to lightly coat the dough with oil. Loosely cover the top of the dough with plastic wrap and completely cover the top of the ceramic bowl with a dish towel. Let it rise for 2 hours, until the dough has doubled in size. Then punch down the dough and let it rise for another hour.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a large bowl, hand crush the tomatoes. Add the olive oil, garlic, fresh basil, parsley, dried basil, dried oregano, chile flakes, Parmigiano, sea salt and lots of cracked pepper. Mix. Cover and let sit in the fridge for 3 hours, or overnight.
- Use a fine wire-mesh sieve to drain all the liquid from the tomato sauce. Roughly chop the drained tomato chunks into little pieces and set aside.
- Dust a clean surface with flour. Roll out the dough 1/8 inch thick. If the dough is too sticky, dust with more flour. Once the dough is rolled out, use a 5-inch-round cookie cutter to cut about 10 to 12 circles of dough. On one half of each circle, place 1 tablespoon mozzarella, 1 tablespoon of drained tomato pieces, 1/4 teaspoon capers and 1 chopped anchovy and sprinkle with about 1 teaspoon Romano cheese. Fold the circles over and completely seal the edges with a fork.
- In a heavy pot, heat 6 inches of vegetable oil to 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Deep-fry the panzarotti until golden, crispy and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Place them on paper towels to drain the excess oil.
PANZAROTTI
Historically the Napoletani have been able and brilliant friggitori-fryers of food. Until only a few years past and sometimes, still, in the quarters of the poor, the very air was thick with the scents of food being crisped to a light gold in boiling oil. The humble kiosks of the friggitori, traditionally wagons fitted with cauldrons, were wheeled about the dank alleyways, the friggitori wailing out the worth of their salty wares, promising them to be "nuvole ricoperte d'un manto dorato"-"clouds mantled in gold." Sometimes, the offering was a nugget of simple bread dough stretched out and fried, then dusted in sea salt and anointed with oil, other times there might be little croquettes of rice and cheese or fritters of broccoli or artichokes. Often, though, the friggitori brought forth lusciously crunchy half-moons of dough plumped with mozzarella and known as panzarotti. Our favorite kiosk sits, still, in front of the Pizzeria Bellini, just down the street from the Accademia delle Belli Arti in Via Costantinopoli, a tiny quiver of space where one can stand, at nine in the morning, even, to bite at hot, too hot, savories while listening to two violins, a viola, a violoncello, and a Baroque guitar working through Boccherini. Here follows a version of panzarotti made from course dough rolled thin, laid with mozzarella, pecorino, and bits of salty meat or tomato or anchovy, folded over and cast into whorls of bubbling oil.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, soften the yeast in the water, permitting it to rest and dissolve for 15 minutes. In another small bowl, combine the olive oil, the salt, and the milk. Measure out the flour and the polenta meal into a large bowl, add the yeast and the olive oil mixtures, forming a rough dough of the ingredients. Turn the dough out onto a work space and knead the dough to a smooth resiliency, a task that takes at least 6 minutes. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and permit it to rise for 35 to 45 minutes or until it has nearly doubled.
- Divide the dough in two. Roll out the first piece into a large rectangular shape about 1/4 inch in thickness. With a biscuit or a pastry cutter, cut 5-inch rounds from the dough. Reroll the scraps and cut again. Repeat the process with the remaining half of the dough. Cover the disks with a clean kitchen towel, permitting them a 10-minute rest.
- Place one-tenth of the mozzarella over one side of each disk. Dust the mozzarella with the pecorino, adding your choice of either the meat, the tomatoes, or the anchovies. Grind pepper generously over the filling. Fold the uncovered half of the disk over the filling, pressing down on the edges, sealing them well, then pinching the ends and forming a half-moon of the pastry.
- Cover the panzarotti with a clean kitchen towel while the oil heats in a deep, heavy pan. Choose the pan so that the liter of oil will yield a depth of at least 5 inches. When the oil is very hot but not yet smoking, add a few of the panzarotti, browning them well before turning them over with tongs and browning the other sides.
- Remove the panzarotti to absorbent paper towels, transferring them to a plate in a 150-degree oven while they wait the crisping of the others. Better yet, present them pan to plate to mouth right in the kitchen, as long as someone is dutiful about the furnishing of cold white wine.
- There's nothing to do but go out to dinner after the triumph of the panzarotti. There will seem few dishes with which one might follow these. Better to compare them to someone else's work than your own.
