Dough Ingredients

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.

  2. 2

    Roll and Cut

    Divide the dough into smaller pieces. Roll each piece out to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into rectangles or squares.

  3. 3

    Fry the Dough

    Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the dough pieces in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare Whipped Truffle Burrata

    In a small bowl, whip the burrata cheese with a fork until creamy. Add a few drops of truffle oil and mix to combine, adjusting to taste.

  5. 5

    Prepare Lemon Dressing

    In a separate bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    Serve the crispy gnocco fritto with slices of soppressata and dollops of whipped truffle burrata. Drizzle with lemon dressing before serving.
