The fried dumpling is a typical recipe from Emilia. In some provinces of this region, it is called differently, even in dialect terms, but the original recipe, as far as I know, is this one!
In some recipes, milk is also included as an ingredient, as I did, but in others, milk is not used, so you decide whether to include it or not..
A recipe to serve with cold cuts, or as finger food, as a real snack or appetizer… however you eat it, it will always be good; they are a true delight.
They come out nice and puffed and empty inside, precisely to allow us to fill them as we wish.
If you replicate the recipe, feel free to send me your photos, I will post them on my FB page in your name!

Ingredients to Make Fried Dumpling

1 cup water or milk
3.5 cups Type 0 Flour (+2 tbsps for the work surface)
8 g Fresh yeast
2 oz Butter (or lard)
1 tsp Salt
Sunflower oil (for frying)
Cold cuts or cheeses as desired, or simple as I did

Preparation of Fried Dumpling

Dissolve the yeast in warm water or milk, add half of the flour and mix well.
Add the melted lard, salt, and add all the remaining flour, mix well until you get a soft, non-sticky dough.
Let it rise in a warm place until it doubles.

After the rising process is complete, roll out the dough on a floured work surface to a thickness of about 1/8 inch and cut the dough into strips in one direction and then the other to create diamonds or rectangles.

Fry in hot oil and turn them over when they are puffed, drain on absorbent paper, lightly salt, and serve with cold cuts. Fried Dumpling
