Method

Tigelle Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the milk, olive oil, and water. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Rest the Dough

    Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Shape the Tigelle

    After resting, divide the dough into small balls about the size of a golf ball. Flatten each ball slightly.

  6. 6

    Cook the Tigelle

    Preheat a tigelliera or a skillet over medium heat. Cook the flattened dough pieces for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
