    Eva's hometown is home to a world class pastry chef. It's fun having Salvatore in our backyard... until he challenges Eva to make the MOST DIFFICULT Italian pastry: sfogliatella.
    Come along for the ride as Eva attempts this challenging dessert. The judge? Salvatore himself. Not gonna lie, I've never seen Eva this nervous about cooking something...

      Also because here in Italy the Sfogliatelle, these delicacies, are one of those things you buy at the pastry shop. Nobody makes them at home !
      By the way, the Sfogliatella is one of my absolute favorite pastries ! They have a unique aroma, a unique fragrance, which you can recognize with your eyes closed, among a lot of other pastries.  It is typical on Sunday, during the morning, to go to the pastry shop and buy a tray of pastries for the Sunday (and in that tray, especially by us in southern Italy, the Sfogliatelle obviously can't be missed !).

      @EbafrenRevo Absolutely right, but don't forget Harper. Pasta Grammar puts out among the very highest quality videos in this category. Who else is as good? Maybe Jamie Oliver. Sometimes Gordon Ramsay, though generally not. Chef John is almost as funny as Eva and does a great job with Food Wishes, but it's still not this good.
      The videography, the tight editing, the excellent variety of music -- Harper does a great job.
      Go back and look at the early Pasta Grammar videos. They were very good, but they keep getting better. Harper does a hell of a job. Without both Eva and Harper Pasta Grammar wouldn't be nearly as fun.

      Well done to Salvatore for not giving her 'good enough' on the first go. When he decided to eat it and gave the nod of approval, you knew it was genuine.

      Thank you SO much for the tip on Trader Joe’s! I grew up in Seattle, but had many trips to New York to visit relatives, which is where I was introduced to Sfogliatelle. There are basically no Italian bakeries in Seattle (why I don’t know and if anyone’s listening, you could make a million if you open one here), so, when I go back east, I get a dozen to bring home. Then I freeze eight of them, and very slowly have them, one by one. And when they’re done, I cry. So I will be on the lookout to see if I can find them at Trader Joe’s!

    I love how Harper asks if this is how they make croissants (good question, by the way) and Eva, without hesitation, answers "No Arper, a croissant are much much easier than this."
    How the hell does she know this stuff? She's an Italian language teacher who has taken up a job of making English language videos teaching people how to cook Italian food, but knows off the top of her head how to make French pastries as well. And she does it all without measuring anything. That is a remarkably flexible mind.
    And Harper just happens to be an outstanding videographer/scriptwriter/musical director/project manager.
    Everybody who watches this channel is so freaking lucky that Eva and Harper met so we get to watch these videos.

    Vanilla sugar: place split vanilla pod in powdered sugar. Seal container and store away for a month before use. Lemon extract is readily available in supermarkets but you can certainly make it at home.
    This reminds me very much of a meat pie we made in Bukhara and Samarkand called samosa (not the Indian samosas you are likely familiar with). The dough was made similarly but we used oil or melted lamb fat. We also rolled the dough, sliced discs and "flattened" them. Then we filled them with meat on one side and folded over so shaped them in half-moons. Beautifully layered, crunchy and delicious!
    Respect.

    We made sfoglietelle frolla the old-fashioned way a couple of Easters back. We used the same exact technique as Eva. It proved to be difficult at best, since we failed to flour our rolled out dough enough and it stuck together as hers did- just sooner. I think the weight of the dough upon itself is tough to deal with. We didn't use cinnamon essence but the other ingredients were exact. We still managed to get a dozen pastries, which I believe are best eaten warm. Have friends or family nearby to enjoy them with! I can't wait to enjoy another when we go back to Italy in September. Wonderful legit documentation of the struggle and joy of making my fave pastry!

    I made it once. The dough makes your brain explode. I'm very impressed by Eva and the pastry chef. He could really evaluate the product without tasting. I think those essences were probably missing in my version. Thank you for showing us the method and secrets in such an entertaining video.

    Bravo Eva!!!That was amazing!!! Sfogliatelle was fathers favorite dessert. His family was from Naples and he never could find a bakery in California to make a good pastry. I would DEFINITELY make this if you posted a recipe!!! Gracie mille🥰

    Bravissima EVa! Un lavoro immenso fatto con amore! Io sono figlia di una Formiana, immigrata in Australia nel 1957 a 18 anni con i suoi genitori. Mia Mamma ora ha 86 anni ed e' orgoliosa essere italiana! Ci ha insegnato attraverso sua vita di fare tutta per e con amore e passione. E' una bravissima cuoca casalinga! Mi ricordo che ha fatto le sfogliatelle alcune volte, a mano come te..che lavoro ma che gioia! Ora Mammanon cucina piu' ecio che faceva lei provo farlo anch'io, ma con risultati non sempre buone. Ma, sbagliando, s'impara! Per farle una sorpresa e anche per sfidarmi ho deciso di provare a fare le sue preferite sfogliatelle.. Che lavorata ma che soddisfazione vedere che anche se non erano perfette, mamma gli ha piaciute! Ora vedendo questo video mi hai ispirata di provare un'altra volta. Grazie e auguroni! Dio vi benedica. Un abbraccione da Perth, Western Australia ❤mar🐨

    Considering Eva nailed such a difficult recipe on only her 2nd attempt, anyone should be proud of her! She is always so willing to keep going to the point of perfection - a true master! It sure would have been nice to see Mama Rosa's opinion but I have a feeling she would have loved either creation.

    My favourite Italian pastry item. I could honestly eat my body weight in these.
    Not crazy enough to try this from scratch, but they are very similar to Pasteis de Nata from Portugal in terms of a slice of "puff pastry" eaked out into a shell.
    I bet they tasted great.

    Sfogliatelle Is my favorite! Brava to Eva! My heart sank when he said “zero” on the first batch’s filling. And I watched his face very closely on the second batch, when he tasted it I saw a hint of a smile. I was so happy for her!

    Hi! You two are totally wacky for taking this challenge on, but... OMG!! So good!! Salute!
    BTW the company Lorann, in the USA, makes flavor essences for both baking and candy making... For sure they have what you're looking for... I have seen all the essences Salvatore mentioned😊

  • @ToniPfau

    Most UA-cam cooking channels go "Today. I'm going to try making Italian carbonara..." They overcook some noodles, rinse them, and let them sit in the colander while they whip out garlic, bacon, cream, fake cheese from a green can, and a six-year-old can of ground black pepper.
    On Pasta Grammar, Eva says, "Today I'm going to try making the most difficult Italian pastry there is." Then she does it.
    This is why I watch Pasta Grammar.

    I love watching this but poor Eva! I have made Sfogliatella several times BUT I have an electric motorized pasta machine that makes it easier to roll out that long strip of dough. I have photos of my end results but do not know how to send them to you. You will inspire others to maybe try this even though it is a LOT of work! After watching you I think I will make them again!!! This is my all time favorite pastry after which comes Pasticciotti. Do you have a video of Eva making Pasticciotti? Let me know how to send a photo of my own Sfogliatella. They will for sure NOT be as good as Eva's!! I love watching both of you - such a wonderful married couple. You make cooking entertaining and fun while teaching us so many things. Bravo Eva. Bravo Harper. My Grandma and Grandpa were from Sicily! Catania.

    The sfogiatella was my father's favorite pastry! I never truly appreciated them when I was younger but now I understand his love for them - they are complex and not overly sweet like some of the other Italian pastry in the US is. I admire Eva's determination in proving herself in making these. I would LOVE a recipe as well to try to make in tribute to my Dad's 100th birthday. Grazie for all you do and I hope to make a trip with you to Italy and visit your new school soon!

    To make these you have to love what you doing and love to see people enjoy it for it is truly a labor of love. Sometimes we ha e to stop and appreciate the work that when it goes into a pastry like this and slow down as you eat it showing respect to what went it to making them, because you could just pop one into to your mouth in a ciuple of bites and it is gone in just a few seconds. I think i will leave it to the professionals to make them and enjoy their work and passion to make them as I eat the with a cup of expresso. Loved Eva's passion and dedication to make a great pastry as this.

I believe I'll add this recipe to my 'bucket list' of recipes to make. I have yet made kouign amann (pronounced “queen ah-mahn”), but those two pastries will be made in the near future. YES, respectfully request the recipe for sfogliatella to be published on your channel. Thank you again! Take care and be safe! 😘❤🙏
