Best Panzerotti Recipe
Report
Easy Panzerotti (or Panzarotti) is an Italian savory turnover like a mini pizza pocket and it’s super easy to make at home! A pizza dough crust is filled with all the classic toppings – pepperoni, cheese, and your choice of sauce. These semi-circular pockets are then baked or deep-fried to golden perfection. If this sounds like something you might like (how can it not?), check out this authentic recipe.

Ingredients
Pizza Dough:
- 1/2 cup water 110-120°F, warm
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 yeast pack
- 1 ¼ cups bread flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (plus more for frying)
For the Filling:
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 3/4 cup crushed tomato
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 24 pepperoni small
Instructions
Make the Dough
- 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.
Make the Filling
- While the dough is rising, you can make the panzerotti filling.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix together tomatoes, cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Make Panzerotti
- 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!
