Polpette - Southern Italian Meatballs stuffed with smoked mozzarella and spicy salami are exactly the thing you didn't know was missing in your at home Italian repertoire!

Southern Italian Stuffed Meatballs

½ pork

½ lb ground beef

bread crumbs

eggs

tbsp kosher salt

parmigianno regianno (plus extra for garnish)

2% milk

oz smoked mozzarella

oz spicy salami (calabrese?)

Combine ground pork, ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, salt, parmesan cheese, and milk in a large mixing bowl.&nbsp; Stir together with your hands until the mixture has just come together but all the eggs and breadcrumbs are evenly distributed all the way through&nbsp;

Take 2-3 tbsp of ground meat mixture and pat if flat into a patty form&nbsp;

Wrap half of a slice of spicy salami around a small piece of smoked mozzarella cheese and add it to the top of the ground meat&nbsp;

Take another 2-3 tbsp of ground meat and flatten it over the top of the salami and mozzarella and the other ground meat patty&nbsp;

Pinch the two ground meat patties together closing the salami and mozzarella into the meatball.&nbsp; Roll to seal completely and place onto a greased baking tray.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Repeat the remaining meat, salami and mozzarella. You'll use around two greased baking sheets in total.&nbsp; Place both trays of meatballs in the refrigerator to chill for 15 min&nbsp;&nbsp;

While the stuffed meatballs chill, preheat the oven to 550.&nbsp; Do not turn the oven to broil yet.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Bake the meatballs at 550 for 10 minutes

Turn the oven to broil and broil the meatballs for an additional 5 minutes.&nbsp; The outsides should be browned and bubbly.&nbsp; A metal skewer inserted briefly to the center of one meatball should come out hot.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Add fresh parmesan and parsley to the top of the meatballs and serve with pasta

In a very large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.

Make a divot in the middle of the flour mixture and add a few tablespoons of water. Stir with a wooden spoon, gradually adding more and more water until the dough starts to come together. You may need a tablespoon more or less water, depending on the consistency of the dough as it forms.

Using your hands, ensure the dough is well incorporated, but do not knead. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Cover with plastic wrap and store at room temperature overnight, or for at least 12 hours,  until doubled in size and porous.

Make the sauce by combining tomato paste, water, vinegar, maple syrup, salt, pepper, garlic, oregano, basil, marjoram, and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl. Let sit at room temperature for an hour before canning or jarring. Refrigerate as necessary up to 2 weeks.

Once the dough has risen, transfer to a clean, floured work surface and form into a large ball. Cut the dough into 6 equal parts and form dough balls by folding the corners into themselves.

Place the dough balls on a floured sheet pan, sprinkle with flour, and cover with a damp towel for about 30 minutes to an hour.

Preheat oven with a pizza stone in it to 500ªF (260ºC) or a low broil.

Work each dough into a disk on a floured work surface. Knuckling the edges of the dough and tossing it gently will help thin it out. Be careful not to rip the dough.

Place the dough disk onto a pizza peel generously floured with semolina or cornmeal. This will prevent sticking. Top with desired sauce, cheese, and toppings.

Slide the pizza onto the stone and bake for about 9 minutes, watching carefully to make sure it doesn’t burn. Look for the edges to become charred and crispy and the cheese to bubble.

Let the pizza cool for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
