Einkorn Mini Pizza Fritta

Ingredients

For the dough 

  • 1½ cups + 3 tbsp 400 grams warm water 
  • 25 grams (about 4 teaspoons) salt 
  • 10 grams (about 3 teaspoons) yeast 
  • 750 grams (about 6 ¼ cups) Jovial All-Purpose Einkorn Flour
  • 4 cups oil, tallow, or lard, for frying 

For the toppings 

  • Mozzarella 
  • Salami 
  • Cherry tomatoes 
  • Zucchini 
  • Goat cheese 
  • Prosciutto 

Instructions

  1. Mix the water, salt, and yeast together in a bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes. Add in the flour and mix well to combine.  
  1. Knead the dough on a lightly floured work surface until smooth.  
  1. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and set aside for 45 minutes, or until roughly doubled in size. 
  1. While the dough rises, prepare your toppings of choice, and set them aside.  
  1. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottom Dutch oven until it reaches 375° F. 
  1. Divide the dough into the desired number of pieces (roughly 100 grams each works well). Use a rolling pin and gently floured work surface to roll each piece of dough into a round. Set aside. 
  1. Carefully add one piece of dough into the hot oil. Cook for 2 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through. Remove the dough with tongs and place on a paper-towel lined plate. Continue with the remaining dough pieces.  
  1. Serve each pizza fritta with your toppings of choice. Best served immediately.
