Ingredients

2 eggs
1 cup milk (Warm; used in the dough. The recipe also uses milk for breading.)
100 ml oil (For the dough; additional oil is needed for frying.)
10 g dry active yeast
1 tbsp sugar
500 g all-purpose flour (Approximately; add gradually until the dough reaches the consistency shown in the video.)
0.5 tbsp salt (The description specifies 1/2 tbsp; the transcript mentions a pinch.)
300 g ham (May be replaced with turkey breast; cut into small cubes.)
300 g mozzarella (Cut into small cubes.)
cream cheese (A generous amount, according to the transcript; quantity not specified.)
oregano (A pinch, optional.)
milk for breading (Enough to coat the savory pastries.)
breadcrumbs (Enough for breading.)
oil for frying (Enough for frying; keep at medium heat.)

Steps

1
Place the eggs, warm milk, oil, dry active yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Mix everything very well.
2
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until the dough reaches the consistency shown in the video and can be transferred to the work surface.
3
Transfer the dough to the work surface, add the salt, and knead for about 10 minutes, until smooth and soft.
4
Return the dough to the bowl and let it rest for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, until doubled in size.
5
While the dough rests, cut the ham and mozzarella into small cubes.
6
Mix the ham and mozzarella with a generous amount of cream cheese. Add a pinch of oregano, if desired. Set the prepared filling aside.
7
Once the dough has doubled in size, place it back on the work surface and divide it into 8 portions.
8
Flatten each portion of dough with your hands, place plenty of filling in the center, and close the dough by bringing the edges up around the filling, as when shaping a coxinha. Press the filling downward while sealing and remove any excess dough.
9
Dip each savory pastry first in the milk and then in the breadcrumbs, coating the entire surface.
10
Heat enough oil for frying and keep it at medium heat so the savory pastries do not remain raw inside and the filling has time to melt.
11
Fry the savory pastries until cooked through and breaded, then remove them and let them drain on paper towels.
12
Serve the savory pastries after draining.

Notes

The amounts of cream cheese, milk for breading, breadcrumbs, and frying oil were not specified; they were estimated only for nutritional purposes. The transcript does not provide an exact temperature or frying time, only instructing that the oil be kept at medium heat. The description allows for using ham or turkey breast.
