Ingredients
- 250 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 50 grams Tapioca starch
- 5 grams Instant yeast
- 10 grams Sugar
- 5 grams Salt
- 30 milliliters Olive oil
- 150 milliliters Warm water
- 100 grams Tomato sauce
- 150 grams Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 5 grams Dried oregano
- 5 grams Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 500 milliliters Cooking oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, tapioca starch, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Step 2
Create a well in the center and add the olive oil and warm water. Mix until the dough is smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, then place it back into the bowl. Cover with a clean cloth and let it rise for 30 minutes in a warm place.
Step 4
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by combining the tomato sauce, shredded mozzarella, oregano, and chopped basil in a medium bowl.
Step 5
Once the dough has risen, divide it into 8 equal parts and roll each piece into a small circle about 8-10 cm in diameter.
Step 6
Place about a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, then pinch the edges to seal tightly.
Step 7
Ensure the edges are thoroughly secured to prevent the filling from leaking out during frying.
Step 8
Heat the cooking oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (356°F).
Step 9
Carefully fry the panzerotti in batches, until they are golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 10
Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Step 11
Serve warm and enjoy your gluten-free panzerotti!
