“Cornetti lievitati della nonna con formaggio di pecora” are traditional Italian crescent-shaped pastries, typically soft and fluffy, often enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack. The use of sheep’s milk cheese (formaggio di pecora) gives them a unique savory flavor, combining the softness of the dough with the rich taste of the cheese.
Here’s a simple recipe to prepare them:
Ingredients:
- 500g of all-purpose flour
- 100g of sugar
- 250ml of lukewarm milk
- 25g of fresh yeast (or 7g of dry yeast)
- 100g of softened butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 pinch of salt
- 200g of sheep’s milk cheese (formaggio di pecora), finely grated or crumbled
- 1 egg yolk (for brushing)
- Optional: honey or jam for serving
