INGREDIENTS
400g type 0 flour
240g lukewarm water
15g fresh yeast
10g extra virgin olive oil
6g salt
1L vegetable oil for frying
Prosciutto, as needed
Stracchino cheese, as needed
PREPARATION
Dissolve the fresh yeast in all the lukewarm water.
Place the flour in a bowl and gradually pour in the water and yeast mixture, stirring until all the water has been absorbed.
Add a drizzle of olive oil, followed by the salt, then knead until the dough is smooth and uniform.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and leave it to rise for about 2 hours in the turned-off oven, or until doubled in size.
Once risen, roll out the dough with a rolling pin to about 1 cm thick.
Cut it into strips about 15 cm long and 3 cm wide.
Place the strips on a floured surface or baking tray, cover with a kitchen towel, and leave to rest for another 30 minutes.
Heat the vegetable oil to about 175°C in a large pan and fry the sgabei for 4–5 minutes, until golden and puffed.
Drain them on paper towels and season lightly with salt.
Serve hot with cured meats and cheeses such as prosciutto and stracchino.
