Panzerotti with Semolina Powder
- 100 grams Semolina powder or bread flour
- 70 grams Cake flour
- 1/2 tsp Dry yeast
- 100 ml Lukewarm water
- 1 pinch each Sugar and salt
- 1 tsp Olive oil
- 1 large Tomato
- 7 ml Olive oil
- 100 grams Mozzarella cheese
- 5 olives' worth Minced olives (optional)
- 1 dash Cinnamon powder
- 2 sardines Canned sardines (roughly chopped)
- 50 grams Ham (roughly chopped)
- Dissolve the dry yeast in 1 tablespoon lukewarm water.
- Add all the ingredients for the dough little by little and knead.
- Form the dough to the consistency of a baby's cheek.
- Cover it with plastic wrap, and let it sit for 1 hour in a sunny place until it expands.
- Knead the dough and then cover it again, making it airtight and set it in the fridge to rise a second time.
- Finely chop the tomato, and then cook it with olive oil over low-medium heat.
- Simmer it until it cooks down to about half into a puree.
- The important point is not to overpower the flavor of the fillings, and not to use strong tasting cheese; therefore there's no need to add basil or garlic to the tomato.
- Dice the mozzarella cheese into 1 cm cubes and finely mince the olives.
- Take the dough out and roll it into a 3 cm diameter log, and divide it into 2 cm pieces.
- Place the cut side on a plastic cutting board, then flatten them into a circle to make the dough for the dumplings.
- Leave the center slightly thicker than the edges to prevent them from breaking.
- I rolled them out to approximately 8 cm diameter.
- A small wooden rolling pin would be handy here.
- All that's left is for you is to fold them up.
- Place the tomato puree and the cheese on top.
- Wrap the three types of fillings.
- When wrapping, press out any air pockets inside.
- Wet the edges with water, then seal them tightly.
- Fry them in oil over medium heat until golden brown.
- They are best enjoyed piping hot!
- It'll make you feel like you just took a trip to Milan.
- The cheese and tomato puree should burst from then center when you cut into it.
- The authentic version doesn't use any semolina powder--only bread flour.
- The only fillings available are ham, tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese.
- This recipe has been handed down for three generations in Luini, which is in the tip of the boot shape of Italy.
- They aren't traditionally eaten in Southern Italy, so it was introduced by immigrants.
- It seems like a lot of famous architects, designers, and politicians are from the south of Italy, and are known for being aggressive.
- This is a different version of these dumplings that uses mashed potatoes as the main ingredient.
- You can make them as you like, or as they do in Luini.
- At first, it was just people in southern Italy who ate this, but now, even foreign tourists line up to buy them.
- One costs about 250 yen.
