Equipment

<ul class="equipment-main-list"><li class="equipment-single-item">Tigelle iron or cast iron press (or heavy-bottomed skillet)</li><li class="equipment-single-item">Stand mixer with dough hook (optional)</li><li class="equipment-single-item">Rolling pin</li><li class="equipment-single-item">7-8cm round cutter</li></ul>

Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm milk with sugar and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy and activated. This fermentation process is crucial for developing both flavor and the proper rise in your tigelle.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture, softened butter, and olive oil. Mix slowly at first to incorporate all ingredients, then increase speed to medium and knead for 8-10 minutes until you have a smooth, elastic dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 2 hours or until doubled in size. The slow rise allows the gluten to develop properly and creates the characteristic texture of authentic tigelle.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Once risen, gently deflate the dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to about 1cm thickness, being careful not to overwork it which would make the flatbreads tough. Use a 7-8cm round cutter to cut out discs. You should get approximately 20 rounds. Gather any scraps, let rest for 5 minutes before re-rolling and cutting to avoid tough dough.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Place the discs on floured baking sheets, cover lightly with a kitchen towel, and allow to rest for another 30-45 minutes. This final proof gives the tigelle their light, airy texture.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>If using a traditional tigelle iron or press, preheat it over medium heat for about 5 minutes until thoroughly hot. If using a skillet, heat it over medium heat. No oil is needed as these are traditionally dry-cooked.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Place the dough discs in the heated press or skillet. If using a press, close it and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side. If using a skillet, cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until small bubbles form and the bottom develops golden-brown spots, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Apply gentle pressure with a spatula to ensure even cooking.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4>The tigelle are ready when they're golden brown on both sides with a slight puffing in the middle. They should sound hollow when tapped. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel and cover to keep warm while cooking the remaining batches. The steam captured inside the towel helps soften the exterior slightly while maintaining the characteristic texture.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 9</h4>Serve warm, traditionally split in half and filled with Italian cured meats, cheeses (particularly stracchino or squacquerone), or cunza (a spread made of lard, garlic, and rosemary). Tigelle can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days or frozen for up to 1 month. To refresh, simply warm in a low oven or toast lightly before serving.</li></ol>

FAQs

Find answers to your most pressing questions about this delicious recipe right here.

What ingredients are used in Tigelle (Italian Flatbread)?

Tigelle requires basic pantry staples: all-purpose flour, lukewarm milk, unsalted butter, instant dry yeast, salt, sugar, and extra virgin olive oil. These simple ingredients combine to create authentic flatbreads with a crisp exterior and soft interior characteristic of this Emilia-Romagna specialty.

How to cook Tigelle (Italian Flatbread) at home?

Learn how to cook Tigelle (Italian Flatbread) by preparing a yeasted dough, allowing it to rise, then cutting it into small discs. Cook these discs in a traditional tigelle iron or cast iron skillet until golden brown on both sides. The process creates perfectly puffed flatbreads with a crispy exterior and soft, pillowy interior that's ideal for serving with Italian cured meats and cheeses.

What is the traditional way to serve these Italian flatbreads?

Traditionally, these flatbreads are split in half and filled with regional specialties from Emilia-Romagna. Classic fillings include prosciutto, salami, stracchino or squacquerone cheese, and cunza (a flavourful spread made of lard, garlic and rosemary). They're typically enjoyed as part of an antipasti spread.

Can you make these flatbreads without a traditional tigelle press?

Yes! While a traditional tigelle iron creates the authentic pattern and perfect thickness, you can achieve excellent results using a heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet. Simply cook the dough discs for 2-3 minutes per side, applying gentle pressure with a spatula to ensure even cooking and the characteristic puffing.

How long do homemade Italian flatbreads stay fresh?

Homemade tigelle remain fresh for 2-3 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, freeze them for up to a month. To refresh before serving, simply warm them briefly in a low oven or toast lightly to restore their delightful contrast of crispy exterior and soft interior.
