- Add the yeast, 3 cups of the flour and the salt.

- Continue mixing the dough, adding small amounts of flour, until it forms a stiff dough.
- Turn out on a lightly floured surface and knead, ading flour as necessary, until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough and let it rest at room temperature with making the filling.
- In a large bowl beat the egg until foamy.
- Add the ricotta and parmesan and mix well.
- Stir in the mozzarella and salami.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8" thick.
- Cut 3" circles from the dough and place 1 tablespoon filling on each circle.
- Moisten the edges of the pastry and fold over to make half-moon shaped pockets.
- Press or crimp the edges of the pastry to seal.

- While pizettes are rising, heat the vegetable oil to a full 350 degrees.
- Gently place a few bundles at a time in the hot oil.
- Do not overcrowd the pizette as they will not brown properly.
