Did you know that ...
Since pandolce is a typical Genoese recipe, pine nuts are indispensable!
However, the pandolce can be customized according to your taste: for example, adding dried fruit or replacing the candied fruit with chocolate chips.- Flavor the mixture with orange flower water, a teaspoon of fennel seeds, half a glass of rum and a pinch of salt.
- Add the flour and baking powder, then mix with your hands, gradually adding the milk: you will get a slightly sticky but workable dough.
- Shape the dough into a ball, and transfer to a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
- Crush the dough with your hands to form a 3-4 cm thick disk. With a spatula or a knife, make lines or squares on the surface.
- Bake the pandolce in a hot oven at 160 ° C (mode: ventilated) for 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely: we recommend cutting the pandolce the day after cooking, to better appreciate its texture and flavor.
