Making a Neapolitan pizza fritta at home is a challenge without a pizza oven. However, a great compromise is this fried pizza recipe that will replicate the classic street food in Naples. It’s essentially a fried calzone that is meant to be eaten on the go. In this recipe, we made the two most popular versions. One is a margarita with mozzarella, tomato, and basil. The other is filled with ricotta, chunks of salami, and sharp provolone.

Makes 4 large pizzas
Prep time: 12 to 18 hours
Cook time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:
For the dough
500 grams of pizza or bread flour
320 grams of water
10 grams of salt
4 grams of yeast
1 liter of cooking oil

For the Ricotta filling
150 grams of cubed salami
150 grams of sharp provolone cut into cubes
100 grams of ricotta
4 basil leaves

For the Margarita
6 tablespoons of tomato passata
150 grams of fresh mozzarella
4 basil leaves
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:
Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl until the flour is completely absorbed by the dough. Let the dough rest in the bowl for an hour.

Lightly flour a work surface and tip the dough out onto it. Knead the dough for roughly 10 minutes. Try to not add too much flour if it sticks.

Once you have a smooth and firm dough, put it into an oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and let it sit for 3 hours. After it has doubled in size, dived into 4 equal parts and then form each part into a ball. Place the balls onto an oiled tray and cover them with plastic wrap. Put them in the fridge for at least 12 hours and up to 18 hours.

Take the dough out of the fridge an hour before you plan to fry them to let them come up to room temperature. In the meantime, heat up the oil in a wide pot over high heat. Bring the temperature of the oil up to 190°C or 375°F.

Remove each of the dough balls and stretch them into a circle about 8 to 9 inches in diameter. To fill the pizza, put half of the ricotta, salami, provolone, and 2 basil leaves in the center of the disc of dough. Fold the dough over to create a half moon shape and seal the edges well.

Carefully place the pizza into the hot oil. With a large spoon, ladle the hot oil over the top. After 45 seconds to 1 minute, turn the pizza over and repeat the process. After both sides are golden brown, remove and place on a cooling rack.

Do the same with the margarita by using half of the ingredients for that filling.

Let the pizzas cool for 5 minutes before eating.
