Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, divide the pizza dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a 6-inch circle.
- Place a spoonful of marinara sauce in the center of each dough circle, leaving a border around the edges.
- Top the marinara sauce with Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, bell peppers, onions, black olives, and fresh basil.
- Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and press the edges firmly to seal.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add the panzerotti to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

- Serve the spicy panzerotti with the prepared spicy marinara dipping sauce and enjoy!
Panzerotti, a beloved Italian street food, has a rich history dating back to the southern regions of Italy. Originating in Puglia, these golden pockets of dough are traditionally filled with mozzarella, tomato, and sometimes spicy salami or ham. The dough is then folded into a half-moon shape and deep-fried to crispy perfection. The spicy marinara dipping sauce adds a fiery kick to this already flavorful dish, elevating it to new heights. Some of the best panzerotti can be found in the bustling streets of Bari, where skilled chefs craft these delectable treats with precision and passion. The key to a perfect panzerotti lies in the quality of the dough and the balance of fillings, ensuring a harmonious blend of flavors in every bite. Whether enjoyed in a traditional Italian eatery or made at home, panzerotti with spicy marinara dipping sauce is a true culinary delight.
