Torta di Rose (Rose Cake)


When my guests leave usually they ask me some of the recipes from the dish they loved the most. I am usually really busy so I tell them quickly that “I will send you an e-mail”! One of the most requested recipe it is the “Torta di rose”, so I am finally explaining it.

Ingredients:

350 gr. flour
yeast
3 yolks
40 gr. olive oil
150 gr. milk
70 gr. sugar
Lemon zest

For the filling: 150 gr. sugar and 150 gr. soft butter. Butter and sugar have to be mixed together until creamy ( you can use instead 200gr jam or crema gianduia, see my previous post about it)

Warm the milk to 37°and mix it with olive oil, sugar, yeast and yolks. When the yeast has melted, pour the flour and make a hole in the middle. Pour inside the mixture and stir using a fork and your fingers until you have a smooth ball. Let it rise. Knead pastry using fingers then level it at 2 cm thick using a rolling pin. Spread the filling. Roll up the pastry until it takes the shape of a cylinderCut 4 cm rounds and put them on a baking tray. Leave space between one another and let it rise again. Bake in pre-heated oven 180 degrees celcius for 30 minutes.
