Prepare the filling mixture by combining 1 kilo ricotta, semolina, salt, pepper, and eggs in a Domo mixer.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap to prevent it from getting flaky.

Roll out the pastry thinly and spread the filling evenly.

Roll the pastry around the filling, ensuring no air is left inside and seal the sides.

Prepare a tray without adding any fat, just a little olive oil to coat the bottom.

Place the prepared pastizzi on the tray and bake until crunchy.
