Time 6h55m

Yield 1 pizza fritte

Number Of Ingredients 12

12.5 cups "00" flour
8 3/4 teaspoons sea salt
2.5 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 ounces ricotta
3 slices salami
6 to 8 pitted olives
1 tablespoon tomato sauce, plus additional for serving
1 ounce shredded fresh mozzarella
Oil, for frying
Fresh basil, for serving
Grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • For the dough: Mix together the flour, salt, oil, yeast and 4 1/3 cups room temperature water in a stand mixer for 25 to 30 minutes. Turn out into a large bowl and let rise 4 to 6 hours.
  • For the pizza fritte: Stretch out one 10-ounce piece of dough (save the remainder for another use). Place ricotta in center, then salami on top, followed by olives, sauce and mozzarella. Fold over dough to make a pocket and close. Seal shut.
  • Preheat some oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F. Fry the pizza, turning to make sure both sides cook evenly, until golden and heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Place on a plate and top with sauce, basil and Parmesan.

This recipe was a disaster! The dough was too thick and the filling was bland. I won't be making this again.

I'm not a big fan of fried food, but this recipe changed my mind. The fried calzone was light and fluffy, and the filling was perfectly seasoned.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pizza dough. The fried calzone was crispy and delicious, and it was a fun change from regular pizza.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my calzone didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. Not sure what I did wrong.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The dough was crispy and the filling was flavorful, but I would have liked it to be a bit cheesier.

The dough was a bit too thick for my taste, but the filling was delicious. I'll try it again with a thinner dough.

Absolutely amazing! The pizza dough was so light and fluffy, and the filling was packed with flavor. I especially loved the gooey cheese and the crispy pepperoni.
