Stuffed pizza dough with shira

Fresh off my successful Modak making experience, I hunted around for more kinds of stuffed dough – sweet filling foods. I had left over shira (Suji ka halwa in Hindi) from Thursday and some pizza dough from Whole Foods in the refrigerator.I sectioned my pizza dough into 8 parts, lugged out my little used panini press and stuffed the shira and cooked them with some olive oil brushed on both sides. They turned out remarkably well – a bit like stuffed pita – the pizza dough puffed out gratifyingly and ended up chewy inside and crispy outside. Perfect!
