Gnocco Fritto: Complete Recipe and Preparation of the Traditional Emilian Appetizer

In this lesson, our Chef Emanuele Simonini demonstrates how to prepare the gnocco fritto, a traditional Emilia-Romagna dish, also known as "crescentina" or by other regional names.
This is a leavened dough that requires a small amount of lard, and it involves a particular technique during rolling so that the dough puffs up during cooking, taking on its characteristic appearance and texture.
Tigella and gnocco fritto are among the most sought-after and well-known recipes in the Emilian culinary tradition. In this cooking course, curated by Emanuele Simonini, a true Emilian, the focus is on preparing the traditional tigella and gnocco fritto doughs, served with classic accompaniments such as the great Emilian cured meats, borettane onions, and the mountain pesto, also known as cunza.
Enjoy the video and bon appétit!
