Ingredients

1 egg
1/2 kg all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons oil
1 glass water
1 tablet fresh yeast
25 g sugar
15 g salt

You can find all-purpose flour, yeast, and fresh ingredients at local general supermarkets, grocery stores, or street markets. Fresh yeast is found in the refrigerated section.

Preparation method

  1. Mix the yeast with a small portion of the flour and a little of the water to create a starter sponge
  2. Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes to activate the yeast
  3. Add the remaining flour, egg, sugar, salt, oil, and the rest of the water gradually
  4. Knead well until you obtain a homogeneous and very soft dough
  5. Shape into small balls of your preferred size and let them rest for 15 minutes under a clean kitchen towel
  6. Roll out each ball with a rolling pin, insert your filling of choice, and seal the edges tightly just like a turnover
  7. Place the fogazzas on a greased tray and let them rest briefly before frying
  8. Fry in hot oil until golden brown on both sides and drain on paper towels
