I am sure that would work if you are not gluten free.
can i use regular flour?
You should be able to fine bocconcini kosher in the 5 towns at one of the fancier kosher markets probably, but if not, just buy the regular fresh mozzarella and cut into bite size pieces.
is bocconcini kosher? if so where can i get it in the 5 towns? and if not what can i use instead? also if i dont want to make this gluten free can i use regular flour & bread crumbs?
