Steps
- 1
In Food processor or in stand up mixer, put flour, salt and sugar and mix.
- 2
Add egg and melted butter and then gradually add water until a ball forms.
- 3
Rest dough for 30 minutes in oil coated bowl and cover it, so the dough doesn't dry.
- 4
In the meanwhile, prepare stuffing: In a bowl mix mozzarella cheese, parsley, mint, salt, pepper and olive oil.
- 5
After the dough had rested dust some flour on a hard surface. Do not use a lot of flour because you want the dough to still stick to each other when forming the crescents.
- 6
Form the dough into a big round circle and using a cover of a Tupperware or anything round that has edges, cut circles through the dough.
- 7
Take the irregular shaped dough out and form a ball, then let it rest for about 15 minutes.
- 8
Now put some stuffing in the circle slightly to one side but keep it away from the edges.
- 9
Then close the dough as if forming a semi circle and then with holding the bottom part and pulling it up with a twisting motion all the way until it closes. You can also use a fork dipped in egg wash to seal the edges, although I don't know how the cheese would hold in there while frying.
- 10
After you finish all the pies and after the leftover dough from the previous circle has rested for 15 minutes, repeat the previous steps.
- 11
Heat fryer to 350 degrees and deep fry pies until light golden brown.
