Ingredients

1 egg
1/2 kg wheat flour
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup water
1 cube fresh yeast
25 g sugar
15 g salt

Where to find ingredients

Find the ingredients in the flour aisle, dairy section, baking shelf, and fresh produce area of most supermarkets or local grocery shops. If needed, a fresh yeast substitute can be used, but the ideal ingredient is fresh yeast.

Preparation method

  1. Mix the yeast with a small portion of the flour and a little of the water to create a sponge
  2. Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes to activate the yeast
  3. Add the remaining flour, the egg, the sugar, the salt, the oil and the rest of the water gradually
  4. Knead well until you have a smooth, very soft dough
  5. Shape into balls of your preferred size and let rest for 15 minutes under a clean tea towel
  6. Roll out each ball with a rolling pin, add the filling of your choice and seal the edges well as if making a pastel
  7. Arrange the fogazzas on a greased baking tray and let them rest briefly before frying
  8. Fry in hot oil until golden on both sides and drain on paper towel
