- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 400 grams Canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 small Onion
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 small Zucchini
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Dice the garlic, onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add diced onion and garlic to the skillet, sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add bell pepper and zucchini, cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in canned tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
Chop the black olives and fresh basil, and add them to the tomato mixture. Stir well and let cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling on one side of each dough circle, avoiding the edges.
Fold the dough over the filling to create a semi-circle. Press the edges firmly and use a fork to seal them.
Place the panzerotti on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops with a little olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
