INGREDIENTS
- 1 TABLESPOON OF SUGAR
- 15G OF FRESH ACTIVE YEAST OR 5G OF BAKING POWDER
- 3 TABLESPOONS OF OLIVE OIL
- 1 TABLESPOON OF SALT
- 3½ TEACUPS OF ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
- 4 TEACUPS OF FRIED AND GROUND CRACKLING
PREPARATION
For the dough, combine the sugar, yeast, olive oil, salt, and 250 ml of water in a bowl. Add the flour and mix until you obtain a dry and smooth dough. Allow it to rise, covered with a dishcloth, for about 40 minutes. Roll out the dough, add 2 teacups of crackling bits and mix them in with your hands, until thoroughly combined. Let it rise for 40 minutes. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin, spread 1 teacup of crackling bits and shape into balls (or whichever shape you wish). Cover with 1 teacup of cracking, pressing them down so it won’t come loose, and let it rise for another 40 minutes. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C, until golden.
