Pecorino Toscano PDO “in carrozza”

Ingredients

Loaf of bread 20 slices
Fresh Pecorino
Toscano DOP g 500
Eggs 5
Anchovy filet 20
White flour to taste
Tuscan oil PGI to taste
Salt to taste

Proceeding

Remove the rind from the sliced loaf of bread.
Slice the Pecorino Toscano DOP and place it on 10 slices of bread (make sure not to extend beyond the edges) and put an anchovy fillet in the middle.
Cover with the remaining slices of bread and gently squeeze.
Hold them firmly in order to prevent them from widening and press the slices’ edges on a tray filled with flour.
Soak the edges into cold water which will create a kind of glue that will prevent the Pecorino Toscano PDO from leaking when you cook it.
Scramble the eggs with a pinch of salt and generously soak the bread that was already prepared. The slices of bread must absorb as much of the eggs as possible.
Fry both sides with boiling oil and serve.

Proceeding for the dough

Work the dough for a couple of minutes and pour gently the remaining water, salt and oil. Work for 10 minutes at least in order to get a smooth, flexible and quite soft dough. Cover and let rise for at least 1 hour.

The stuffing

Dice the fresh Pecorino Toscano DOP and mix to the grated Pecorino Toscano DOP, the minced basil, the grinded tomato and then dress it with salt and pepper. Roll out until the pasta becomes a few millimeters thick. Cut it with a rounded pastry cutter of 8 cm diameter. Then, add one spoon of stuffing at the center of each disc. Brush the edges with the beaten egg withe. Fold in the middle pushing the air out and sealing properly their edges to close the “calzoni”.
Let it rise another hour and brown both sides in hot oil.
