Neapolitan Tortano # ingredients and proportions - Ingredients:1 kg of flour - 2 cubes of fresh brewer's yeast - 150 g of lard -Pepper -Salt -100 g of grated pecorino cheese -300 g of pecorino cheese in pieces or other cheeses to taste (provolone, emmental) -400 g of Neapolitan salami (or a mixture of salami, cabbage, bacon, mortadella) -2 glasses of lukewarm water (about 450 ml) - 3 hard-boiled eggs to taste. In Naples, instead of fresh brewer's yeast, they use criscito, a sourdough starter sold by bakers and delicatessens at Easter time.METHOD- to decorate as desired: a few tablespoons of lard and a few eggs to taste.Dissolve the fresh brewer's yeast cubes in a glass of lukewarm water. Put the flour in a large bowl with 2/3 teaspoons of salt and some pepper, then put the room temperature lard in the middle and add the yeast dissolved in the warm water. Start kneading by adding more lukewarm water until a soft dough is obtained. Now knead the dough on the pastry board vigorously, banging it several times on the table or slapping it. Knead for 10 to 15 minutes, then put it to rise in a bowl, covered with a cloth, in a warm place for about 2 hours. The dough should double in volume. Meanwhile, prepare the filling by cutting salami and cheese into small pieces. Once the dough has risen, roll it out with your hands, without using a rolling pin, into a rectangle about 1 cm high. Then sprinkle the cubes of salami and cheese over the dough, sprinkle with pepper and season with salt. The original recipe also calls for chopped hard-boiled eggs, if you don't like them you can also eliminate them. Then roll the dough tightly and place it in a bundt pan that you have greased with lard. Lightly grease also the surface with lard and leave to rise for another two hours covered with a tea towel. Bake in a preheated oven at 170° for about 1 hour or even longer until golden brown. Still do the toothpick test to see if it is cooked on the inside.
****** by chefAdrianoMennillo_Tortano is a rustic Neapolitan pizza typical of the Easter festivities, often confused with casatiello because people think it is the same thing. In reality, tortano is richer than casatiello, as it has a rich filling of cold cuts (Neapolitan salami, cabbage, bacon, mortadella) and cheeses and also chopped hard-boiled eggs, so there is less dough than casatiello . Unlike casatiello, tortano can also be eaten on its own, without the accompaniment of cold meats and cheeses. Originally, it was not customary to decorate tortano with eggs on the surface, but today it is also found with eggs added.

Io ho utilizzato un carnaroli perché avevo quello in casa e anche perché noi amiamo sentire il chicco di riso sotto id enti quando mangiamo un dolce al riso.L'ideale sarebbe un riso Roma dal chicco piccolo e rotondo che con la lunga cottura nel latte quasi si disfà rendendo la torta molto più cremosa. Un'altra alternativa valida è il riso originario, soprattutto a chi ama il sapore del riso nei dolci ma non vuole sentirlo nella sua interezza.La scorza del limone io l'ho lasciata intera ed eliminata una volta che il riso era pronto. Potrete anche utilizzarla grattugiata (in questo caso solo metà frutto) se amate il suo sapore.Se si possiede una tortiera in alluminio, ungere ed infarinarla, quindi cuocere senza carta da forno.La torta si conserva fino a 4 giorni in frigorifero, possibilmente coperta con una campana o una pellicola per alimenti.Personalmente sconsiglio di congelarla. Non ho mai avuto buoni risultati a cuocere i piatti a base di riso, però basatevi sulla vostra esperienza., a piacere sopra aggiungete lo zucchero a velo .

Neapolitan baba# ingredients and doses :for the dough >500 gr American flour (manitoba),50 gr sugar,150 gr butter softened to room temperature, or 1 ounce lard,fine salt - a teaspoonful,8 eggs,2 brewer's yeast loaves. VERY IMPORTANT >>2 Version with raisins500 gr American flour (manitoba),50 gr sugar,150 gr butter softened at room temperature, or 1 ounce lard,fine salt - a teaspoon of coffee ,8 eggs,150 g raisins soaked in hot water and then squeezed,2 brewer's yeast buns.>>,For the water bath ::2 liters of water -600 gr sugar -1 whole peel of untreated lemon, -rum . .METHOD -Place the flour, sugar, chopped butter or lard, salt and crumbled yeast in the rotating bowl of the mixer. Start the beaters and mix everything together. Add the eggs one by one ( and only when the previous one has been well absorbed).The dough should be elastic and stick to the whips. To achieve this, the quantity of eggs is important: avoid choosing them too large; if they are, put in the first seven, always one at a time, and eventually add only half of the last one. Knead with the whips until the dough rises on the whips until it almost covers the shafts and is not rubbery. In the version with raisins, at this point add the raisins soaked in hot water, squeezed and lightly floured to the dough and continue kneading for a few minutes. To check that the dough has risen properly, take a pinch of dough between your index finger and thumb and spread your fingers apart: if it is elastic and almost rubbery, it is ready. Grow the dough in the bowl itself until it reaches the rim. Transfer to a single buttered center-hole mold (or multiple small, truncated-cone molds) and grow again until it reaches the edges of the container(s). Bake in a hot oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes. Prepare the syrup: Heat the water, sugar, lemon peel and rum (the amount will depend on taste) until the sugar is dissolved. Discard the lemon peel. Place the baba on a wire rack (oven rack is fine) and set it on a baking sheet or a fairly large container. Poke holes with a toothpick in the top surface of the baba (the shiniest one) and begin to moisten using a ladle. Turn the baba over and continue wetting several times. When the soaking finishes retrieve it from the pan on which the grating rests (that's what it's for), possibly reheat it and continue wetting the baba. Then let the baba drip on the grate for a few hours. Serve the baba slices by adding more liquid (which will have been set aside) if necessary or desired.If small 7-cm-high truncated-cone molds were used (in each of which 35 or 50 grams of dough should be placed), the resulting babas can be wetted by quickly dipping them in their entirety into the bath and retrieving them with a skimmer.The baba can be indifferently accompanied by sweet (rosolî) or dry (cognac and/or brandy) liqueurs .

Cotoletta alla milanese # Ingredients for 4 people -Veal - Eggs 3/4 Bread crumbs 300 gr Buttermilk 300 gr - Salt, only as necessary -METHOD-To prepare the rib to the milanese, first of all, get some beef ribs. To make them, cut the meat by sliding the knife between bones. At this point, scratch the bone with the tip of the knife, to clean it completely. Using a meat softener, soften it slightly, to unify the texture. Using the knife again, remove the nerves, which during cooking would cause the rib to shrink.Prepared the veal carré, break the 4 eggs into a bowl and beat. In another bowl, put the breadcrumbs. Taking the ribs from the bone, first, pass through the breadcrumbs, then dip them in the beaten egg and roll them in breadcrumbs; this for twice. At the end, with the unsightly part of the knife, draw on the ribs a kind of grid. Once ready for cooking, take a saucepan with the melted butter and add them until they are ready, adding a little salt. It is typical to accompany the ribs to the milanese with fries.

Bigne with Pistachio cream # Ingredients and doses )-500 ml milk -2 egg yolks -50 gr potato starch -1 sachet of vanillin -3 tablespoons of pistachio cream -120 gr sugar .METHOD-Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar. Add the potato starch and the milk. Mix well. Add the vanilla. Add the pistachio cream. Put on the heat and let it thicken, stirring continuously. Your pistachio cream is ready... it is useful both for filling cakes and for filling Bignè (cream puffs).>>>FOR THE BIGNE' >>250 gr water -125 gr butter -150 gr flour 00 -4 whole eggs -1 pinch of salt -1 sachet of vanillin ->> PASTRY CREAM: 500 ml milk (you can use whole milk or semi-skimmed for a lighter cream) -150 gr sugar -60 gr flour -4 egg yolks -peel of 2 lemons -1 sachet vanillin -packaged pistachio cream -packaged white hazelnut cream ->>PREPARATION OF BIGNE': Bring the water together with the butter to the boil. Turn off the heat and throw in the flour all at once, stir vigorously. Put the mixture in the planetary mixer (or in a large bowl) and add one egg at a time (you can only add the next one when the first one has been completely absorbed). Line the oven tray with baking paper. Put the mixture into a pastry bag (I'm happy with the stiff one) and make many little tufts (the size of a hazelnut). With a wet paper towel I flattened the tips of the puffs and baked them in a static oven at 190 degrees for 15/20 minutes.PREPARATION OF THE PASTRY CREAM: Heat the milk together with the vanillin and lemon zest over low heat for 10 minutes. In a separate container whisk the egg yolks with the sugar, the pinch of salt and the flour. Now add half of the previously heated milk (and remove the lemon peel). Mix well and then combine the two mixtures, letting them thicken over the heat. To obtain the two creams, I mixed half of the classic custard with the pistachio paste and the other half with the white hazelnut cream. Once the puffs were out of the oven, I filled half of them with the pistachio cream and the rest with the hazelnut cream. I 'poached' the heads of the cream puffs ,in the remaining creams and finished with pistachio and hazelnut grains.
