The secret of a perfect brioscia: leavening.

16/10/2023


Welcome lovers of Sicilian products! Today we still talk about a true queen of the Sicilian table: brioscia with tuppo, in particular its leavening. This jewel of
tradition has its roots in the history of the island, combining the art of bakers with the sweetness of butter and sugar.

Natural leavening for at least 24 hours is a fundamental step to obtain a soft, light Sicilian brioscia with an unmistakable flavour. This process, in fact, allows the pasta to develop all its aromas, making our brioscia an unforgettable taste experience.
Remember, perfection takes time: respecting the natural leavening for at least 24 hours is the secret to obtaining a soft and fragrant brioscia!

For those with a sweet tooth, we have a perfect idea: try the brioscia with granita or ice cream or in the company of a good cappuccino.

Ingredients and preparation techniques

In addition to flour, butter, eggs and sugar, the real protagonist is the sourdough starter. This natural ingredient not only gives the brioscia col tuppo a unique flavour, but is also fundamental for its leavening.
