Steps
Ricotta and salami bites are super easy and quick to prepare, first prepare the filling: in a bowl, put the ricotta (it must be well-drained, if fresh, let it drain first), grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and mix with a fork.
Add the salami and scamorza cheese in small pieces and mix everything together. Unroll the pizza base and cut it into 4 vertical parts and 3 horizontal parts, thus obtaining 12 pieces.
Fill each piece with a bit of filling and close well, forming balls.
Place the ricotta and salami bites on a baking sheet, brush them with a little extra virgin olive oil, and bake in a preheated oven at 392°F for about twenty minutes or in an air fryer at 356°F for 15/17 minutes.
Tips:
Ricotta and salami bites can be kept at room temperature for a few hours or in the refrigerator for a couple of days. If you prefer, you can omit the scamorza cheese and replace it with 2.5 oz of ricotta.
