How to make a 100-layer Sfogliatella

  • The dough should be stretched so thin that you can almost see the work surface through it.

  • The thinner the laminate, the more layers will form during baking.

  • The fat should be lukewarm, not hot, so that it spreads well without melting the dough.

  • If the ricotta is very moist, drain it in a colander before using it.

  • Do not compress the sfogliatella when forming the cone: it needs space to open the layers.

  • Always cook in a hot oven to achieve the classic crispy texture.

The sfogliatella is a sweet treat that stands out for its artisanal work and its delicate, crispy, and layered result.

Perfect to enjoy with coffee or as a special dessert.
