Babà Rustico Recipe
A Campanian traditional dish: an ode to friendship and a great food to eat in good company!
Ingredients
- A glass of milk (more or less 130 g)
- A block of fresh yeast (25 g)
- 400 g plain flour (italian flour 00)
- 120 g cold melted butter (or lard)
- 3 eggs
- cold cuts and cheese little cubes (the more the better): I used smoked cheese, mozzarella, pepperoni, wienerwurst and ham
- Salt
Directions
- Dissolve yeast in warm milk; melt the butter and let it cool down. Put the flour into a large bowl and add the salt; then add the cold cuts and cheese little cubes.
- Gradually add milk (with yeast in it), melted butter and eggs and start kneading. The dough will be smooth, a little sticky.
- Grease and dust with flour a 24 cm diameter (at least) ring shaped mould and put the dough in it. Cover the mould with tin foil and let the dough rise for 2 hours inside the oven (turned off).
- Then bake the babà at 350°F (180°C) for about 40 to 45 minutes: in the first 30 minutes let the tin foil over the mould, then remove it (in the last 10 to 15 minutes) to cook until golden brown.
- Let the babà cool down (if you resist) et eat it!
