How do you make fried pizza? 

It took me absolutely ages to get this one right. Many failed attempts and many iterations later I think you'll find that these are the most delicious fried pizzas you've ever eaten... presumming you've actually eaten fried pizza before!

There's only one speciality ingredient in the recipe and it is Polydextrose. Polydextrose is : Polydextrose (PDX) is a non-digestible oligosaccharide used widely across most sectors of the food industry. It is a randomly linked glucose oligomer containing small amounts of sorbitol and citric acid. Check out more here : Polydextrose

434g Bread flour

30g Sugar 

3.5g Polydextrose

3g Instant dried yeast

8g Salt

150g Filtered water

100g peeled and cooked russet potato

85g Buttermilk

8g Apple cider vinegar

17g Unsalted butter cubed

26g Unsalted butter cubed.

STEPS:

1. Add potatoes to about 400g of water in a small pot then bring to the boil, lower the heat slightly and let the potatoes cook until the easily fall off a small knife and strain. this takes about 7 or 8 minutes. 

2. Using an immersion blender or food processor, blitz up the potatoes with the buttermilk, water and vinegar until silky smooth.

3. Whisk together dry ingredients, then melt the 17g butter in microwave and chill the 26g butter in fridge. Set salt aside.

4. Add wet ingredients to mixer, then add dry ingredients and melted butter.

5. mix for about 6 minutes on low and check for elasticity. 

6. Rest at room temp (68-72 degrees) for 15 minutes

7. Start mixer on lowest setting and add the chilled butter one cube at a time, then add the salt and mix allow to mix for a further 3 minutes.

8. Rest at room again for another 15 minutes.

Proofing:

After the second 15 minute rest, divide the dough into 100g pieces and ball up. Proof at room temp for 3 hours then flatten into small discs and fill with your filling of choice. 

Cheese is always a good choice , and i highly recommend you use cured meats because we are going to proof the pizzas/calzones at room temp for at least another hour. After that hour you can fry the pizzas in 375 degree peanut oil, top with parmesan and enjoy with whatever sauce you like to use for pizza.
