Gnocco Fritto 🇮🇹

Gnocco Fritto

Ingredients
- 160ml (5.4 fl oz) warm water
- 4g (0.14 oz) dry active yeast
- 50g (1.8 oz) lard at room temperature (for the dough)
- 350g of plain flour (ap flour), plus more for dusting
- 400g (14 oz) lard or oil for frying
- salt
- sliced cured meats to serve (e.g. mortadella)
- sliced cheese to serve (e.g. pecorino)

Method
1. To make the dough, add the flour, 50g of lard, and warm water to a bowl. Mix until the dough has formed, then turn it out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-6 minutes or until the dough is smooth. Place the dough into a bowl, cover it, and let it rest for 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
2. Once the dough has doubled, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it to roughly 3mm (1/8 inch) thick. Cut the dough into small squares using a pasta roller or a bench scraper.
3. Heat the oil in a pan to 160-170°C (320-340°F). Once the oil is hot, start frying the Gnocco Fritto, flipping them halfway through cooking. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which would cause the oil temperature to drop too quickly.
4. Once the Gnocco Fritto are fried, remove them from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain.
5. Serve the Gnocco Fritto while they are still hot with sliced cured meats and cheese on the side. They make the perfect complement to any antipasto board.

I am from Piacenza (Italia) where Gnocco Fritto is a traditional recipe and I can say yours look good👏
Usually we make them slightly bigger and not regular in shape, but some restaurants serve them like yours.
Enjoy!

I'm from Modena in Italy. Gnocco Fritto is one of traditional food of Modena. It's legendary. Congratulations for the execution of this recipe....you have been really amazing. BRAVO.

No words. Perfect! Using the strutto (lard) both in the dough and to fry them. Only a small thing: usually the pieces are not regular and a little bigger, but it' s ok!

For some reason this is the first time i ever considered that I could make homemade pizza rolls and theyd probably be amazing.

[diegomariaricigliano]

This is how @andy_cooks shows an Italian an Italian recipe he never heard of from Modena... Bravo! I love how you cook with so much taste and passion.

[BoschGuy]

Can we all agree that Babe is the luckiest girl on the planet ??❤ and I am sure Andy is the luckiest guy but what I would give to be around his place at lunch or dinner… shouting “Hey guy, what you want for dinner?”

[LorenzoMiari]

Bravo Andy, vero gnocco! You can serve it also with Coppa and Salame Felino, typical Emilia Romagna's cured meats ✌️

[marktemple]

I made Gnocco Fritto for my wife on our second date. My Gran was from Bologna and taught me how to make when I was a boy. Bravo!

[salvatorecipolletta]

The kimbo coffee cup to pour the yeast is such a great touch! Perfect video and recipe as always!
