What do you need to make tigelle?

How do you make tigelle?

Ingredients:

  • 500g of 00 flour
  • 200g of warm water
  • 100g of warm milk
  • 10g of dry yeast
  • 30g of lard
  • 10g of salt

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast dissolved in warm water, warm milk, lard, and salt.
  2. Knead the dough well until it is smooth and elastic.
  3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  4. Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 2mm.
  5. Cut out rounds of dough using a cookie cutter or pastry cutter that is about 10cm in diameter.
  6. Cook the tigelle in a hot tigelliera, or cast iron pan, for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
  7. Serve the tigelle hot and filled with your favorite toppings.

Tips for making the perfect tigelle:

  • Use 00 flour for a lighter and more digestible dough.
  • Use warm milk to activate the yeast.
  • Don't over-proof the dough, otherwise the tigelle will be too soft.
  • Cook the tigelle over medium-high heat to prevent them from burning.

Some tigelle fillings:

  • Prosciutto and cheese
  • Mortadella and stracchino cheese
  • Salami and gorgonzola cheese
  • Roasted vegetables and pesto
  • Nutella and mascarpone

Variations:

  • For a more rustic version, substitute whole wheat flour for the 00 flour.
  • For a more flavorful version, add 1 teaspoon of dried oregano or a pinch of pepper to the dough.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute grilled or stir-fried vegetables for the prosciutto or mortadella.
