A simple and delicious recipe for crispy breadcakes. In Italy, they are called the “mother-in-law language” (Lingue di suocera). And depending on the character and tongue of the mother-in-law, the sprinkling on top changes – from hot pepper to brown sugar! Try to cook, it turns out delicious!

Instructions

  1. We will prepare everything you need for Italian bread “Mother-in-law’s tongues”. The products are the simplest, the only thing is – take olive oil. It will be tastier with it and in Italian! Pour salt and yeast into flour. We mix.
  2. We add water little by little. Knead a soft dough. Do not add all the water at once, focus on your flour (I have 1 tablespoon. A spoonful of water left).
  3. Knead the dough for a few minutes and add 1-2 tablespoons of oil. Then we knead for 5 minutes more. Let the dough stand for 2 hours under the film. I had the dough in a bowl right on the table.
  4. Lightly knead the dough and divide into 10 approximately equal parts. Roll each part of the dough into a ball, cover with a towel, and let stand for about 10 minutes. We also need salt, dry rosemary (you can take fresh), and 2 tablespoon. tablespoons of olive oil. Roll each blank into a long thin tongue.
  5. We spread the tongues on a prepared baking sheet (oiled and dusty with flour). Lubricate with olive oil and sprinkle with rosemary and sea salt on top – this is a classic option. But if the mother-in-law is sharp on the tongue, then add pepper on top. And if the “second mother” is affectionate and gentle, sprinkle the tongues with cane sugar.
  6. We bake “mother-in-law’s tongues” in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes.
  7. Let the finished cakes cool a little, and then crunch merrily at the family table!
