description
Typical Tuscan sweet made with only chestnut flour and so much dried fruit.
preparation
step 1
In a bowl pour all the flour. Water very slowly and mix with a whip to prevent lumps. Add a pinch of salt and a spoonful of oil
step 2
Mix very vigorously, add half of the vase and let it rest covered for at least half an hour, but you can prepare it a few hours before.
step 3
When baking, pour the dough into an oiled baking pan of 30x22 cm.
step 4
It is good to follow these measures because the right thickness of the chestnut guarantees the optimal result and if it is lower or higher it would be less soft or more time-consuming.
step 5
Place over the dried fruit you like and the raisins left, pour an extra virgin olive oil and cook in a hot oven at 200 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes depending on your oven.
step 6
It must begin to crease the surface but remain soft inside.
step 7
Eat it as it is slightly clotted or with over a spoonful of ricotta ... very tasty!
