Halloween is approaching: here are our witches! Emilian witches<\/strong> are fragrant pasta bundles, perfect to accompany all our dishes. These wonderful bundles made with flour, extra virgin olive oil and lard are crispy and extremely satisfying: perfect to accompany cheese, cold cuts, but also vegetables.<\/p>\n

Like many of the best things, the recipe for Emilian Streghe was created by chance, when ovens were heated with wood and bakers would put a strip of dough greased with oil inside to test the temperature. Streghe are also very easy to make and keep very well for days, just put them in a tin box. If they go a little soft, just pop them in a hot oven for a few minutes and they will become crispy again.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n

300 g of flour 0
\n30 g of lard at room temperature
\n15 g of fresh beer yeast (or 4 g of dehydrated beer yeast)
\nsalt
\nlittle extra virgin olive oil to brush the witches<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Method<\/h3>\n

– Dilute the yeast in 150 ml of lukewarm water.
\n– Sift the flour on the planter, make the fountain and go to the diluted yeast<\/strong> and lick it in flakes.
\n– Knead vigorously for a few minutes and combine a salt shaved spoon<\/strong> when the pasta has taken hold. I drank a few more minutes, then make a ball and put it in a bowl of flour.
\n– Cover the bowl with a damp cloth folded in four and let it rise<\/strong> in warm place until doubling (an abundant hour).
\n– Remove a piece of pasta (about a third), flatten it slightly with your hands and pass it to the pasta machine through the thickest.
\n– Lightly drizzle the dough strip<\/strong>, doubling it and pouring it back to the first thick, then gradually through the others until the fourth to get a few strips (the pasta strip is doubled only the first time).
\n– Brush it with a toothed wheel and, as soon as it is ready, place it on two coated paperboard plates<\/strong> (in the photo, on a sheet of silpat).
\n– Switch on the oven<\/strong> by adjusting the thermostat to 200<\/strong> \u00b0. Brush the witches with oil and dust them with a pinch of salt.
\n– Pass the first plate into the oven at temperature and cook the witches for 10 minutes.<\/strong> With the heat of the oven they swell as bearings and, when cold, they are pleasantly crisp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
