The taste of the oldest pizza in the world cannot be forgotten • Its dough is soft and crunchy, inside it reveals everything good, which includes tomato sauce and stretchy cheese • Pastry chef Yan Harush (Pizza Farino), and Keren and Itzik Kadosh, shared the recipe with us after his class in the Italian city

Pizza fritta is a fried Neapolitan street food made from pizza dough stuffed with cheese, sauce and anything you want. The dish, considered the oldest pizza in the world, was first mentioned in the 16th century. Back then, Neapolitan wives would fry the leftover dough that their husbands did not use and sell them to people on the street.

In 2017, the dish was recognized by UNESCO and received intangible cultural heritage status.
Chef Jan Harush, from the Ashdod Pizza Parino, has traveled extensively in the city of Naples as part of many trips and research he conducted there. He ate everything pizza there and the pizza fritta captivated his heart. "It's on the street, it's fun, it's fried, it's delightful," he explains. Because hemlock tends to infect all its friends with the Naples bacterium. Last April, pastry chef Keren and Itzik Kadosh, owners of the famous Kadosh Cafe in Jerusalem, flew in following his recommendation.

"As soon as we landed, we received a WhatsApp message from Yan," says Keren Kadosh. He wrote to us: 'Good morning Naples, according to Jan Harush. I ask you to eat only what I tell you everywhere. The stops will include beautiful places, but mostly delicious food.' The taste of pizza fritta is hard to forget and as a souvenir of the trip we decided to share with Israel Hayom a recipe for a classic pizza frita.

How to prepare:

Put the water and yeast in the mixer bowl, add the flour and sugar on top and start kneading slowly.

When the dough crystallizes, add the oil and salt.

At medium speed, knead the dough for 10 minutes and another 4 minutes at higher speed.

Cover the mixer bowl and let the dough rest for another 30 minutes. Remove the dough from the mixer bowl.

Dribble the dough again and let it rest covered for another 10 minutes.

After resting, lightly flour a work surface, divide the dough into pieces weighing 130-150 grams per piece (according to the desired size).

Form balls out of the dough and place spaced out on a tray.

Cover the balls well with a towel, and let rise at room temperature for about two hours.

Then refrigerate overnight.

The next day, remove the pills from the refrigerator until they reach room temperature. Only then the dough is ready to work.

Pizza sauce:

Enough for about 8 pizzas

Can canned tomatoes
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. oregano

Preparation:

Mix all ingredients.

Additional ingredients:

Grated Parmesan
Fresh mozzarella cut into coarse strips
A handful of basil
Olive oil

Assembling the Pizza Fritta

Using your fingers, open the dough into a circle.

Spread the tomato sauce on half the dough without damaging the table, place mozzarella shreds, sprinkle parmesan, a handful of basils and push a little olive oil.

Fold the half of the dough without the filling over the salt and close the dough well.

Deep fry in a saucepan with oil at about 170 degrees Celsius.

Saute until golden brown on both sides.

Enjoy!
