Fried Dough With Salami - {Gnocco Fritto Con Affetati}

Courses: Main Course
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

1/4 cup 59mlMilk
1   Dry yeast
1 lb 454g / 16ozWhole wheat flour
1 tablespoon 15mlExtra-virgin olive oil
1   Salt
2 cups 396g / 13ozLard
1   Fatback - sliced thinly
  On a slicer
1 lb 454g / 16ozThinly-sliced assorted cured meats
  (prosciutto, testa, mortadella, capacolla)

Recipe Instructions

In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer. Remove from heat, allow to cool to a temperature that is comfortable on the inside of the wrist, then dissolve the yeast in the milk.

Place the flour in a large bowl and, after the yeast has foamed, stir the mixture into the flour, along with the oil, the salt, and enough water to make a soft dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and allow it to rise for 1 hour in a warm, dry place.

In a tall-sided pot, heat the lard to 375 degrees. Cut the dough into pieces the size of a toddler's fist and, once the oil has come to temperature, cook the dough in the oil, a few pieces at a time, until it is golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Serve with the sliced meats and sliced fatback.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
