description
Castagnaccio is an autumn dessert made with chestnut flour. There are several variations, I chose to propose the one recommended by Dr. Mozzi and taken from the book The Recipes of Dr. Mozzi Eating with taste without gluten, according to blood groups. To prepare it you need a few simple essential ingredients to give it an intense and unmistakable flavor. Il Castagnaccio is a poor and ancient dessert, characterized by its moist and compact consistency. We can define the castagnaccio also as a vegan sweet, gluten-free and lactose-free.
preparation
step 1
The first step to prepare the castagnaccio is to pour the flour into a bowl and add half of the water provided for in the recipe, then 350 ml. We turn with a fork and let it rest for 2 hours.
step 2
After the necessary time we combine the remaining water and mix well always with the help of a fork.
step 3
Now add the raisins and a pinch of salt and mix everything.

step 4
Pour the chestnut cake into a 2436 pan lined with parchment paper. On the surface add the almonds or pine nuts or walnuts. Bake in preheated oven at 200 degrees for about 30 minutes.
step 5
The castagnaccio is ready when the surface is dry and with many small cracks. To be safer on cooking you can do the toothpick test (put it in the middle and if it is dry, the cake is ready).
