¾ teaspoon salt

Wine pairing
To be eaten year-round anytime, the perfect accompaniment is a fortified wine that is pleasingly aromatic with intense hints of honey and dried fruit made with Trebbiano grapes. Vin Santo del Chianti D.O.C.

Chef's Tip
The step of cutting the ribbons of dough, once coked, must be done quickly or the dough tends to dry out and break apart when cut. It is good to place them in the oven again once cut, so that their centers are well-dried. Once cooked and cooled, the cantucci must be stored in a dry place. They remain good and fragrant for many days.
