Recipe - Pizza Fritta - Fried Pizza

2 pound Leavened bread dough
Three fourths pound Primosale or other fresh
cheese
2 small Onions; tender (up to 3)
4 Anchovy fillets
Salt
Olive oil or lard

Work the lard or olive oil into the leavened dough, divide into six parts
and leave to rise again for a couple of hours. Press out the pieces of
dough to form little discs which you will fill with a littl chopped onion,
cheese slices and pieces of anchovy. Fold each disc over onto itself and
press the edges well together with your fingers dampened in water. Fry in
hot oil.

Variation: at Trapani, another type of pizza is made with leavened dough.
Spread the dough over the bottom of an oiled baking tray or dish and brush
the surface with oil. Season with salt, pepper, 3 chopped cloves of garlic,
oregano and rosemary. Bake for 20 minutes in a hot oven.
