»Cartellate - Misya's Cartellate Recipe


Prepare the dough: heat the olive oil with the orange and lemon peels in a saucepan, fry, turn off and let cool; add the flour, the flavored oil and the cooked must in a bowl, then work until you get a homogeneous dough.

Roll out the dough into a very thin sheet (about 3 mm): I used the puff pastry machine, but the rolling pin is fine too.

Cut the dough into strips 4 cm wide and 40 cm long, then take 1 at a time, fold it in half from the short side without joining it and pinch the dough at intervals of 3-4 cm, creating small pockets, as you can see in the photo.
Finally, roll the strip on itself, without joining the sides of the pockets.

Continue like this with all the other strips and, when they are all ready, heat the seed oil in a saucepan and fry them a few at a time until golden brown, then drain them on kitchen paper.

Heat the honey in another saucepan together with the orange juice and, once well melted (without bringing it to a boil) turn off and immerse the cartellate in the mixture, then decorate with the sugars.

The cartellate are ready: serve them immediately.

Cartellate recipe and pomegranate syrup


  • 400 g flour
  • 150 g dry white wine
  • 150 g granulated sugar
  • a big orange
  • a large pomegranate
  • lemon
  • powdered sugar
  • peanut oil
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt

For the recipe of cartellate and pomegranate syrup, mix the flour with white wine, 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and one of powdered sugar. Add the grated rind of a lemon and a pinch of salt. Let the dough rest in a bowl, covered with foil, for half an hour.

Cut the pomegranate in half and squeeze half of it; filter the juice and weigh 250g. Heat it in a saucepan with the granulated sugar, the juice of 1 orange, 10 drops of lemon and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and, as soon as the sugar has melted, turn off and let cool, obtaining a syrup. Roll out the dough into very thin sheets, cut into strips 4cm wide and 30-40cm long, with a serrated wheel. Fold them in half lengthwise, pinching every 2-3cm, to close them.

Roll each strip on itself, pinching it occasionally with your fingers to keep it closed, forming "swivels", cartellate. Leave to dry on baking paper for half an hour, then fry in hot oil for 2-3 minutes, calendering in oil with the openings upwards. Serve them with the syrup and the grains of the remaining pomegranate.
