On a recent trip to Parma, Italy I discovered these heavenly Torta Frittas. They arrive to the table fresh from the frier and piled high in basket. Served next to the cured meats and crumbled parmesan, you top them with cheese and meats then fold over to make a yummy mini sandwich. 

If you're into making bread like focaccia or sour dough, these are an easy fun alternative and perfect for a charcuterie board.

Ingredients

  • 150 ml

    milk

  • 50 ml

    water 

  • 15 g

    butter 

  • 1/2 tsp.

    sugar 

  • 300 g

    strong bread flour 

  • 4 g

    dried yeast

  • 1/2 tsp.

    salt 

  • 500 ml

    oil, for frying 

Directions

    1. Step 1In a saucepan over low heat, add the milk and water and bring to a lukewarm temperature. Remove from heat, add the butter and sugar and stir until both have melted. Set aside. 
    2. Step 2Add flour, yeast and salt to a bowl and stir. Make a well in the middle and pour in your milk mix. Stir until it comes together, turn out and knead for ten minutes, or until you have a smooth, elastic dough. 
    3. Step 3Place into an oiled bowl, cover with cling film and leave to prove for 1 hour or until doubled in size. 
    4. Step 4Knock the dough back and turn out onto a floured work surface. To make things easier, divide the dough into four and work with one section at a time, making sure to cover the rest of the dough so it doesn't dry out. 
    5. Step 5Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until it's 2 millimetres thin, then cut into rough squares. They don't need to be perfect, so feel free to make them as small as you like. Repeat until you have used up all of the dough. 
    6. Step 6Add the oil to a pan, making sure it is only three quarters full. Place over a medium heat and warm the oil until a cube of bread starts to sizzle and turn golden brown. 
    7. Step 7Carefully place each square into the oil and cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping half way through. They puff like pitta breads, so make sure to cook no more that 4 at a time. Drain onto kitchen paper and serve.
