The Cresciole Marchigiane Pizza Fried

The Cresciole Marchigiane Pizza Fried. Leafing through the recipe of my grandmother disappeared long ago popped the “fried cresciole”. Immediately with the memory I came back at the age of 5/6 years old when I watched my grandmother that made them. In those times “poor” this delight was always associated with some festivities marked in red on the calendar. I remember my grandmother telling me that the recipe had been passed down from her grandmother, so we're talking about something that comes from 1850 about, time when the street had not seen cars, but only carriages and horses.

Fried cresciole can be prepared in two versions: sweet and savory.

They were once strictly fried in lard, Today almost all chose the light version which involves frying in vegetable oil.

The preparation:

As you can see from the list of ingredients, this recipe does not require the use of any type of yeast, then the preparation is rapid and without any difficulty.

Place the flour on your work surface, the same way with which you prepare homemade pasta. Break the eggs, add the 2 tablespoons sugar, the good oil (says the old recipe), a little anise, a pinch of salt and beat with a fork mix everything.

With your hands mix the flour slowly to the liquid compound, until you get a good smooth dough, smooth and soft as that of the pizza.

At this point, divide the dough into smaller balls. Roll it out with a rolling pin into circles (as it is done with the pizza) thin and dip them in hot oil for about three minutes, then flip them on the other side.

Once they have reached the right degree of browning, drain them on a paper towel and add salt or sugar depending on the version you have chosen.

The Pizza Fried Abruzzese

The Pizza Fried Abruzzese

The Pizza Fried Abruzzese. I have a suggestion for a fantastic destination for your next vacation. If you have not already done, I recommend strongly to visit the Abruzzo region. It seems to be the place where, in the opinion of foreign tourists who visit our beautiful country, you eat better by far. To provide this special ranking, it's not me, but that's incredible… a survey conducted by Confesercenti-Ref. E’ It has been asked many tourists who visit the Italian regions to give their opinion on services and on welcoming. The results obtained from this special list not leave any shadow of doubt: In a scale ranging from 1 a 10 the result obtained from the survey was for the value of Abruzzo 9,06. The best ever, to follow Campania, Basilicata and Calabria.

Among the many specialties that this beautiful region has to offer, and is closely related to our site that is only the pizza, it's surely “the fried pizza Abruzzese”.

Already in spring, with the first signs of summer, Abruzzo begin the first dedicated to food festivals and the “street food”. Fortunately, only about ten minutes drive separate me from this region, then by the person concerned, I did not let out a.

I noticed that the fried pizza is called in different ways depending on the city you plan to visit, Pizzonta, fried small pizza, pizzondella.

The Pizza Fried Abruzzese

E’ definitely a popular food, and, to feel the local elders, It was widespread in the past given the simplicity of the ingredients “poor” with which it was made.

This particular street food is a poor food which is prepared with bread dough or pizza, fried in large pots filled with seed oil or extra virgin olive oil.

In festivals it is served with salt or sugar sprinkled on the surface, depending on which version is preferred sweet or salt water.

In the last country festival I attended, I was lucky enough to visit the kitchen and be able to view the whole production process, the flour until the frying. I understand that only a lucky few have that privilege, and it is with great pleasure that I wish to share with you the fantastic recipe “pizzonta”, local dialect which means greasy pizza.

The Pizza Fried Abruzzese
The Pizza Fried Abruzzese

I had the privilege of having Candellora, old country (75 age) that made me as guide in the space in the kitchen. The first thing he showed me was the “nzogna”, a few of you know this term, but maybe you know this: La hungry.

We know that the pig does not discard anything, one of the things that characterize this area is precisely the pig's bladder filled with nzogna. During the pig slaughter, the bladder after being carefully cleaned with a mixture of water and vinegar flavored with citrus peel, It is immersed in cold water until it becomes solid. In the meantime, they are made in the pork fat cubes in a big pot and are put on the fire to form the liquid fat. Before the fat cools, It is poured into the bladder and hung from a nail on the ceiling.

La hungry, preserves the “lard” Content in it for several months. Lard is an ingredient widely used in Abruzzese cuisine and absolutely essential for the success of the fried pizza. It gives it a unique flavor and a unique softness.
