Steps:
- In a liquid measuring cup, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water. Set aside for 5 minutes to bloom.
- In a bowl, add 3 cups (375 g) of the flour, Parmesan, baking powder, salt, and sugar, and stir to combine.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and stir to combine. Pour the yeast water over the flour mixture and stir until the dough forms into a ball.

- Begin forming the dough into a circle about ½-inch (1-cm) thick and 5 inches (12-cm) wide, making sure the middle of the circle is not too thin. Repeat with the other balls of dough.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce on to the center of the dough.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons mozzarella, then 1 tablespoon basil. Season with salt.
- Fold the dough over the fillings and seal. Pinch the edge of the dough together and fold back. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
- Heat 2 inches (5 cm) of oil until the temperature reaches 365˚F (185˚C).

EASY FRIED DOUGH (PIZZA FRITTE)
This was one of our favorite treats, growing up. Mom would fry dough for breakfast, lunch or a snack. I've carried this tradition down to my children and grandchildren, and I know they're going to do the same with their families. One of the easiest recipes I can give you, actually, not a recipe at all. Just some simple...

Steps:
- 1. Pour about 1" of oil into frying pan, and heat to medium-high. (A tip for knowing when your oil is ready: tear off a tiny piece of bread and when it floats to the top and has bubbly sides it's ready. You don't want it sinking to the bottom.)
- 2. Place dough on floured board and press down to even out a bit. Cut into 8 equal pieces. Put a little flour on your hands (so the dough won't stick) and gently stretch out the dough as far as it will go, without ripping it.
- 3. Carefully place into the hot oil, cook about a minute (goes fast) or until the side down is golden, then turn over and brown the other side. (Never leave the stove when you're frying something. I learned the hard way, and burned down my first house. Yeah, true story!)
- 4. Use tongs to remove onto a paper towel or brown paper bag, to drain off any excess oil. Immediately sprinkle on cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar or spread on some butter, and various other toppings, if desired. Serve warm.
- 5. Your choice of toppings are endless: Powdered sugar Granulated sugar Cinnamon sugar Butter Jam Honey
PIZZA FRITTA (FRIED PIZZA DOUGH)
When I was very young my Italian Great Grandmother use to give us this treat (I guess to shut us up) while she was cooking. Now this calls for a sprinkle of sugar... BUT the beauty is you can fill them with sauce, mozzarella, meat, whatever you like. This is also great with any left over/unused pizza dough

Steps:
- Heat oil in frying pan.
- Break off ~2" pieces of dough.
- Place in hot oil, cook until done (around 3-5 min and turning once).
- Place on paper towel and let drain (1 min).
- Sprinkle with granulated sugar.
- Cut open and place in a teaspoon of jelly (optional), or just eat them as is.
- --OR--.
- Do not add sugar/jelly - let cool and just cut open place sauce/cheese/meat/whatever inside then bake in oven for ~3-5min (until done). It's like having an extra good hot pocket LOL.
Tips:
- Use a high-quality pizza dough that is at least 1 day old. This will give the dough a chance to develop flavor and will make it easier to work with.
- Don't overwork the dough. Knead it just until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Use a variety of toppings to create your calzone. Some popular options include cheese, pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
- Make sure the calzone is cooked all the way through before serving. The cheese should be melted and bubbly, and the dough should be golden brown.
- Serve the calzone with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce or ranch dressing.
Conclusion:
Fried calzone is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover pizza dough and toppings, and it can be customized to suit your own taste. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give fried calzone a try!
