Sfogliatella Riccia
Sfogliatella Riccia is a traditional Italian pastry originating from the Campania region, particularly associated with the city of Naples. It features a unique, flaky exterior made from layers of thin dough, which is rolled and shaped into a shell. The pastry is typically filled with a sweet mixture of ricotta cheese, semolina, sugar, and candied citrus peel.
This delightful treat is often enjoyed as a breakfast item or dessert and is known for its crispy texture and rich, creamy filling. Sfogliatella Riccia is often dusted with powdered sugar and can be found in many Italian bakeries around the world.
