Panzerotti PAT

Sign in to save

Panzerotti, also known as panzarotti, are Italian savory bread products, originating in the Apulia region, which resemble small calzones, both in shape and in the dough used for their preparation. The term panzerotti applies exclusively to a fried product, though oven-baked calzones are similar and the two are often mistaken for each other.
