Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add all purpose flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Divide dough into 10 equal pieces.
  6. Roll each piece into a small circle.
  7. Place a spoonful of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each circle.
  8. Fold the edges over the cheese, pinch tightly to seal, and shape into a ball. Gently flatten slightly.
  9. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until lightly golden.
  11. Brush lightly with olive oil while warm and serve.

Notes

  • Seal the dough tightly to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
  • Do not overfill with cheese.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes for best texture.
