Prepare pizza dough and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Cut dough into circles or desired shapes.

Heat olive oil in a deep pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Spread tomato sauce on half of each dough circle, leaving edges clear.

Top with mozzarella cheese, basil, and any additional toppings.

Fold the dough over to create a pocket and seal the edges with a fork.

Carefully lower the filled dough into the hot oil, frying until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and black pepper before serving.

Serve hot with additional tomato sauce on the side.
