In a bowl, mix the flour, semolina, salt, sugar, and yeast.

Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and knead until a dough forms.

Let the dough rise until doubled in size.

Roll out the dough and cut into circles.

Place a filling of mortadella, salame, scamorza, and sauce on one half of the circle.

Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges.

Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the panzerotti until golden brown.
