Ingredients
- 3.5 oz Type 0 Flour
- 1/4 cup Water
- 0.1 oz Fresh yeast
- pre-dough
- 17.6 oz Type 0 Flour
- 0.4 oz Fine salt
- 1 1/4 cups Water (room temperature)
- 7 oz Prosciutto (chopped)
- 1 Zucchini
Preparation
Let’s prepare the pre-dough (or starter).
In a bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in 1/4 cup of water, add the sifted flour, and mix to obtain a dough, which we will cover and let rise until doubled.
Prepare the dough. Once the pre-dough has risen, transfer it to a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the flour, water, and salt and mix coarsely.
Add the chopped prosciutto and zucchini and continue working the ingredients until you get a smooth, elastic but still slightly sticky dough.
With the help of a little flour (or by oiling your hands) divide the dough into balls of about 1 oz each and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 1 inch apart, and let them rise until doubled.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
As soon as it is very hot, bake the stuffed bites at mid-height, for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are well puffed and golden; they can be served both hot and cold. Serve the stuffed bread bites also as tasty “snack breaks,” they will be a real success.
