-------- ------------ --------------------------------

DOUGH

1 ounce fresh yeast

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 lb 2 oz all-purpose flour

FILLING

1 lb 2 oz green leaves

salt

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 clove garlic -- minced

1 teaspoon capers

7 ounces black olives -- pitted

1 tablespoon sultanas (white raisins

oil for deep-frying

 

Crumble the yeast in a small bowl and add 3 tablespoons tepid water, the oil,

and some salt. Put the flour in a large bowl and gradually stir in the yeast

and enough tepid water to make a stiff bread dough. You will need about 10 oz.

of water. Work until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternetively, mix the

dough in a food processor. Transfer to a clean warm bowl, cover with a thick

cloth and leave in a warm, draught-proof place to rise for about 1 hour.

Cook the green leaves in boiling, salted water and drain carefully while they

are still a good green colour. Heat the oil and gently fry the garlic until it

begins to turn a golden brown. Squeeze all the water from the greens, chop and

add to the pan, stirring so that they become coated with the oil. Stir in the

rinsed and dried capers, olives, and the sultanas.

When the dough has risen, divide into 12 small balls, working 1 at a time. Roll

out very thinly on a floured board and spoon a little filling into the middle.

Fold over and seal the edges with a little water and light pressure. I usually

make a half moon, and press a fork around the edges.

When all the pizzelle have been made, cover with a cloth. When ready to serve,

heat the oil for deep frying and fry the pizzelle until golden brown, then

serve. It is important not to let them brown too quickly on the outside or the

inside will still be cold. They must be eaten very hot.
