Preparation method
- Combine the fresh yeast with a small portion of the flour and a splash of water to create a starter sponge.
- Allow the mixture to rest for about 10 minutes until the yeast becomes active and bubbly.
- Incorporate the remaining flour, egg, sugar, salt, oil, and the rest of the water gradually.
- Knead the mixture thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and very soft dough.
- Divide into small balls of your desired size and let them rest for 15 minutes covered with a clean kitchen towel.
- Roll out each ball, place your choice of filling in the center, and seal the edges firmly, similar to a turnover.
- Place the shaped fogazzas on a lightly greased tray and let them rest briefly before frying.
- Deep-fry in hot oil until golden brown on both sides and drain on paper towels.
