Bambinos
Amy worked at La Pizzeria for a long time so she told me how to make these. I don't have the pizza dough recipe though.
2 cans refrigerated pizza dough OR a recipe of your own (1 can makes 3 Bambinos)
Pizza sauce (from the store or a recipe of your own)
Pizza toppings of your choice.
I used the pizza dough out of the can for sake of time. They tasted fine but next time I will use a homemade dough. I laid it on a cookie sheet, one can at a time, and pressed it out, but don't press the dough too thin. Cut the dough with a pizza cutter in half the long ways, then into thirds. You should now have 6 even squares of dough. Put pizza sauce and toppings on one row of three, leaving the other three empty. Be careful to leave the edges bare so you can seal the bambino. Brush the edges with a beaten egg. Carefully fold the empty pieces of dough over onto the topped pieces. Seal edges tightly. If you have a hole in one or it is not sealed good it will make a mess in your pan. Fry in 375 degree oil one at a time till golden brown, turning once. Remove from oil and set on paper towels.
*If you use your own dough you can roll it out and cut out big circles or squares, what ever is easiest for you to do.

Hey, Melissa! We tried making our own bambinos tonight. It was great! Ryan made a pizza dough, and we filled them with sauce, cheese, olives, and pepperoni. They were almost as good as La Pizzeria! Thanks for the idea!
