Go back to the main Gastronomy page
Ingredients:
- 500 gr. durum wheat flour
- 1 dl. e 1/2 oil
- 12 gr. pinch of salt
- 30 gr. live yeast
- 3 dl. warm water
- Sugar
- Frying oil
Method
The “Pettole” are a traditional cake prepared during Christmas festivities.
Whisk together all the ingredients in order to obtain smooth and elastic dough to set to rise for at least a couple of hours.
When the dough is ready, you can pluck off and stretch out bits of dough (round ones) and fry them in the hot extra virgin olive oil.
As variations you can add boiled mashed potatoes, haddock, anchovies, raisin, cauliflowers, pine nuts, onions, olives, tomatoes.
Anyway, if you want to taste the “pettole” at best, you must eat them hot, just fried.
