Crunchy Lingue di Suocera 

For our non-Italian speaking followers, the name “Lingue di Suocera” literally means “Mother-in-law’s tongues”. These dough sheets are long exactly like long-tongued mothers-in-law (ours are an exception of course 🙂 ) and they are thin, crunchy, and have an elongated and curved shape. If you need to send a subliminal message to your mother-in-law, this is the recipe for you! ;-))

INSTRUCTIONS

• Finely chop the rosemary.
• In a mixer bowl, or in the KitchenAid bowl, place the flour, the cold water, the salt, the Evo oil, and the rosemary.
• Knead until the dough is smooth.
• Transfer the dough into a bowl. Cover with a cloth, or cling film, and let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven at 250°C.
• On a well-floured counter, cut the dough into small pieces (30-40g each) – (see the picture below).

• On a well-floured counter, with a rolling pin, roll each piece into a long and very thin Lingua di Suocera (about 1-2 mm thickness) – (see the picture below).

• Place the Lingua di Suocera on a baking tray, and brush them with Evo oil.
• Bake for about 5 minutes on the lower third of the oven. Don’t get distracted because it can get burnt.
• Cool on a wire rack.

TIPS: Store the Lingue di Suocera on a tight container for 4-5 days.
