Where to find ingredients
Fresh yeast is typically found in the refrigerated section of local supermarkets or specialized grocers. For all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, oil, and eggs, any standard grocery retail shop will carry these pantry staples.
Preparation method
- Combine the fresh yeast with a small portion of the flour and a splash of the water to create a starter sponge.
- Allow the mixture to rest for about 10 minutes to activate the yeast.
- Incorporate the remaining flour, egg, sugar, salt, oil, and the rest of the water gradually.
- Knead the mixture thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, soft, and elastic dough.
- Form the dough into small balls of your desired size and let them rest for 15 minutes covered with a clean kitchen towel.
- Roll out each ball with a rolling pin, place your preferred filling in the center, and seal the edges tightly, similar to a turnover.
- Arrange 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, then drain on paper towels before serving.
