Method
- Mix all the dry ingredients together
- Add warm water as needed for the flour and dough. Knead the ingredients well until you have a smooth, homogeneous dough. Set the dough aside for one hour to rest and rise well.
- After the dough has risen, roll it out or spread it, then cut it into circles. Fill each circle with a cube of cheese or mozzarella, close it, and shape it into a ball.
- Fry the cheese balls in plenty of hot oil... once a crisp outer crust forms, lower the heat and let them cook through until the cheese melts inside...
