- Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, heap the flour with the eggs, extra virgin olive oil, dry white wine and a pinch of fine salt.
Knead until smooth and let it rest for at least 1 hour, covered with a cloth. - Saffron preparation: Soak saffron stigmas in a little warm milk for at least 2 hours, covering the container with plastic wrap.
- Preparing the filling: In a bowl, beat the eggs (yolks and whites) with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper.
Add the grated cheeses (pecorino, wilted caciotta, parmesan) and saffron stigmas with their milk.
Mix well until the mixture is smooth. - Forming the fiadoni: Roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it is about 3 mm thick. Cut out disks of dough 10-12 cm in diameter.
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each disc and close them in a crescent shape.
Seal the edges by pressing with a fork to prevent the filling from escaping during baking. - Preparation for baking: Oil a baking sheet with a cotton ball soaked in extra virgin olive oil.
Arrange the fiadoni on the baking sheet and brush the surface with egg yolk. - Baking: Bake the fiadoni in a preheated oven at 190 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
