S bread | AboutUmbria

These sweets, typical of the priories, were served in slices, accompanied by a glass of vinsanto. This recipe signed by Angelo Belia, together with many curiosities about the popular cuisine of what was Fratta (Umbertide), is collected in the 2013 edition of the calendario di Umbertide.

Ingredients:

1 kg of bread dough
300 g of sugar
100 g of anise
200 g of raisins
a quarter of egg Marsala
250 g of lard
300 g of brewer’s yeast
type 0 flour to taste

Procedure:

Let the raisins rest in the Marsala for about an hour. Then mix all the ingredients with the bread dough and, after having worked it well, divide it into loaves and form S shapes. Let it rise for at least two hours but, halfway through the process, cut the S with a knife and curl the ends. Brush them with an egg and cook at 180° until they are golden brown.
