Ingredients:

2     tablespoons   extra-virgin olive oil
3/4   pound         chanterelles mushrooms
                    roughly chopped
1                   garlic clove
1     tablespoon    chopped fresh parsley
1/2   cup           mascarpone
                    Salt
                    Freshly-ground black pepper
                    === PASTRY DOUGH ===
1/4   cup           light red or white wine, such as
                    Fiano del Avellino
3/4   cup           warm water
1 1/2 ounces        yeast cake
1     tablespoon    honey
3 1/2 cups          all-purpose flour
1     teaspoon      salt
2     tablespoons   extra-virgin olive oil

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Prepare the Pastry Dough: In a large bowl, combine wine, water and yeast and stir until dissolved. Add the honey, salt and olive oil and mix thoroughly. Add 1 cup of flour and mix with a wooden spoon until it becomes a loose batter. Add 2 more cups of flour and stir with the spoon for another 2 to 3 minutes, to incorporate as much of the flour as possible.
Bring the dough together with your hands and turn it out onto a floured board or marble surface. Knead for about 6 to 8 minutes, until you have made a firm, smooth dough. Place it in a clean, lightly-oiled bowl and cover it with a towel. Let it rise in the warmest part of the kitchen for 45 minutes.
In a 12- to 14-inch saute pan, heat the oil over high heat until smoking. Add the mushrooms and saute over high heat until browned. Add the garlic, parsley, mascarpone and salt and pepper to taste, stir in, and remove from heat.
Roll pastry dough out to an even thickness. With a water glass or cookie cutter, cut into 2 1/2-inch diameter circles.
Spoon some of the filling onto one half of each of the pastry circles. Fold each circle over on itself and press the edges to make a seal.
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat about 1/2 cup olive oil over high heat until almost smoking. Fry the pastries in the oil until golden-browned on both sides. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels, then serve.
