Preparation
- To prepare the fried mini pizzas, place the Pizza mix, warm water, and extra virgin olive oil into the bowl of a stand mixer. Knead for about 15 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. You can also knead by hand.
- Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour and 30 minutes).
- Once risen, divide the dough into 16 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a sheet of parchment paper. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Heat the peanut oil in a deep pot to 165°C (if you don’t have a thermometer, dip the handle of a wooden spoon in the oil, if bubbles form around it, the oil is ready).
- Meanwhile, dust the dough balls with re-milled semolina and gently flatten them with your fingertips. Stretch them into thin oval discs (about 12 x 6 cm), then prick the center multiple times with a fork to prevent excessive puffing during frying.
- Fry 1-2 mini pizzas at a time, depending on the size of your pot. Fry for about 2 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on both sides.
- Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Keep warm while frying the remaining mini pizzas.
- Once all are fried, top with warm tomato sauce, stracciatella cheese, oregano, and fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy!
