The best, quickest and easiest gluten free maritozzi recipe that will transport you to the busy streets of Rome.
This traditional sweet bread recipe comes from the heart of Italy where having these with a cup of espresso for breakfast is an absolute must. These delicious pastries with sultanas are filled with cream and covered with icing sugar, making this dish absolutely delightful. We also recommend serving them as dessert at a dinner party, everyone will love them! Our tip: prepare them in advance and keep them in the freezer. When you are ready to have them, defrost them and put them in the oven for a few minutes right before serving. So tasty!
- Place the flour, xanthan gum, sugar, grated lemon rind, vanilla sugar and salt in a bowl.
- Dissolve the yeast, either fresh or dry, in a little lukewarm milk.
- Add the yeast to the flour, along with the yolks and the butter; work everything until you have a smooth batter.
- Add the sultanas. Form the mix into a large ball shape, then cut into 15 pieces.
- Shape into oval forms, then place on a tray lined with greaseproof paper. You will need to use 2 trays.
- Place the trays in a warm place and let the dough rise for around 1 hour.
- Brush the maritozzi with egg beaten in a little milk, then cook them in a pre-heated oven for around 25 minutes (upper and lower heat, middle shelf).
