Make a cone of flour on the pastry board with a cavity on the top. Dissolve the yeast in a few tablespoons of lukewarm water, pour into the cavity and add a pinch of salt, the butter at room temperature, the eggs and half of the ciccioli coarsely chopped.
Knead the ingredients together until the dough is no longer sticky, adding more flour if necessary. Butter an 8-in. baking tray with high edges, stretch out the dough until it covers the bottom and the sides, then sprinkle with the remaining ciccioli. Cover and set in a warm place until risen. Cook in a preheated oven at 400ºF for half an hour. |
