Panino’s Montanara featuring Galbani® Fresh Mozzarella

Amount	Ingredient
10 oz. ball	Neapolitan-style artisan Pizza Dough (for a 10” pie)
½ cup	San Marzano Tomato Sauce
3 oz.	Galbani Premio Mozzarella shreds or Galbani Fresh Mozzarella (a combination of the two is recommended)
1 tbsp.	Grated Parmesan
1 tbsp.	Olive Oil
	Fresh Basil (to garnish)
	Sprinkle of Sea Salt

Stretch or roll out your pizza dough into a 10” round disc, leaving a 1” border all around as you would on a traditional pizza.
Using your fingertips, make indentations in the center of the dough without disturbing the pizza border.
Carefully drop the dough into a 350°F fryer, holding it down with a large metal spatula or strainer, and flip it until it turns golden-brown on both sides.
Remove the dough from the fryer and drain the excess oil on paper.
Place the fried pizza dough on a pizza tray and add tomato sauce, Mozzarella shreds and/or Fresh Mozzarella, grated Parmesan, fresh basil, olive oil and sea salt.
Bake in an oven at 600°F or hotter until the cheese melts and the edges are slightly charred.
