How to make Crescione with Porcini Mushrooms and Cheese Recipe "crescione con porcini e formaggio" - Preparation time: 30 minutes – Cooking time: 8 minutes – Resting time: 1 hour
4 Servings
for the dough:
4 cups (500 g) all-purpose flour or Italian “00” flour
3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. (200 ml) milk
1 large egg
3 tsp. (15 g) baking powder
2 2/3 oz. (75 g) softened lard or vegetable shortening
1 1/2 tsp. (10 g) salt
for the filling:
1 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. (20 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
10 1/2 oz. (300 g) porcini mushrooms, cleaned and diced into 1-inch (2.5- cm) cubes
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp. (4 g) parsley, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
4 1/4 oz. (120 g) soft cheese, such as Stracchino or crescenza, diced
Method:
Put the flour onto a clean work surface and make a well in the center. Add the milk, egg, baking powder, lard, and salt to the well and mix to blend. Gradually start incorporating the mixture into the flour a little at a time, and then begin to knead. Continue kneading the dough until soft, smooth, and elastic.
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let rest for at least 1 hour.
In the meantime, make the filling. Heat the oil in a medium skillet. Add the mushrooms and garlic and sauté briefly. Stir in the parsley, add salt and pepper to taste, and sauté for 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are softened. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Divide the dough into pieces about 5 ounces (150 grams) each. Shape them into balls, then roll them out into disks of about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick and 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) in diameter. Put some of the cooked mushrooms in the center of each disk together with some of the cheese. Fold the disks into a half-moon shape and seal the edges with your fingers or press down with the prongs of a fork.
Cook each crescione on a greased griddle or in a nonstick pan over high heat for 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
