To start your Pizza Fritta with Tomato Sauce or Honey: |
|
 |
In a saucepan, heat up extra virgin olive oil for the tomato sauce. Add crushed tomatoes, garlic, salt and basil. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. |
|
Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Stretch and flatten out each piece with your hands to create little pizzas. |
|
In a large skillet, heat extra virgin olive oil on high heat. Gently place each piece of dough in the hot oil and cook for about a minute on each side. Once dough is puffy and golden brown on both sides, remove from skillet and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. |
|
Remove any raw garlic from the tomato sauce and spoon sauce onto fried dough. Top with freshly grated pecorino cheese and serve immediately. |
|
For the sweet version, skip the tomato sauce and drizzle honey on the fried dough. Serve hot. |
