- 1 sheet rectangular pizza dough

- 3.5 oz tomato puree
- Dried oregano, to taste
- Salt, to taste

Instructions
Unroll the pizza dough and cut out circles using a round cutter.
Season the tomato puree with salt and oregano. Place one teaspoon of the seasoned puree and a portion of mozzarella in the center of each dough circle.
Fold the dough over to form a half-moon. Press the edges firmly with the tines of a fork to seal.
Lightly brush the surface of each panzerotto with olive oil. Cook at 400°F for 8 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
