Pizza cannoli with speck, an easy and quick appetizer to prepare with ready-to-use pizza dough. I filled the cannoli with speck and cheese; alternatively, try the pizza cannoli version, a very tasty variation! Perfect for adding to Easter Appetizers, with this dose you will make about 9 cannoli. The recipe is quite customizable; if you don’t like the ready-to-use pizza dough, you can replace it with puff pastry or shortcrust pastry. To enhance the flavor, you can add a teaspoon of béchamel; I recommend making a double batch because they literally fly off the table. Also, you can prepare them the night before and keep them in the fridge since they only need 12-15 minutes of cooking time; you can cook them just before sitting down at the table, although they are also good cold.
