Ingredients Needed:

Dough:

• 450g bread flour, plus extra for dusting
• 8.5g kosher salt, plus extra for assembly
• 5.6g active dry yeast
• 310ml water

Toppings & Cooking:

• 400g whole peeled Italian tomatoes (in juice)
• 1.9L vegetable, canola, or peanut oil (for frying)
• 350–450g buffalo or fresh cow’s milk mozzarella
• Handful of fresh basil leaves
• 60ml extra-virgin olive oil

How To Make Deep Fried Pizza Recipe?

1. Make the Dough: Mix flour, salt, and yeast in a bowl. Add water and stir until the dough comes together. Knead for 30 seconds, then cover and leave at room temperature for 8–16 hours.
2. Shape the Dough: Divide the dough into 4 balls. Place them on a floured surface, cover, and let rise for 2 hours.
3. Make the Sauce: Blend the tomatoes into a rough sauce. Season with salt to taste.
4. Prepare the Mozzarella: Tear the mozzarella into chunks and squeeze out excess liquid.
5. Preheat Equipment: Preheat your broiler. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
6. Shape and Fry the Dough: Roll one dough ball into a 10-inch circle. Use your fingers to make small holes in the dough. Fry it in the hot oil for 45 seconds on each side until crispy.
7. Assemble the Pizza: Place the fried dough in a heated skillet. Spread tomato sauce on top, add mozzarella, basil, and a pinch of salt. Drizzle with olive oil.
8. Broil the Pizza: Place the pizza under the broiler for about 45 seconds until the edges are crispy and the cheese is melted.
9. Serve: Serve the pizza immediately. Repeat for the remaining dough balls.

Recipe Tips:

• Let the dough rise for a long time: This helps the dough become light and fluffy.
• Use fresh mozzarella: It melts better and makes the pizza creamier.
• Check the oil temperature: Fry the dough at 350°F (175°C) to get it crispy and cooked well.
• Fry one pizza at a time: This helps the pizza cook evenly and stay crispy.
• Watch the broiler closely: It cooks fast, so keep an eye on the pizza to avoid burning it.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the pizza cool down to room temperature. Then, wrap it or put it in a container and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: Heat a skillet on medium, place the pizza in it, cover, and cook for 3–5 minutes to crisp the crust.
