Palazzi intern Elena Policella provides an extremely tempting example of the desserts made in her corner of Italy, the city of Bolzano in Alto-Adige, perched on the border between Italy and Austria. If you notice a German twang to the dessert’s name “Buchteln,” the hunch is on the spot – the region is known for its autonomous status in the Italian government and for being multi-linguistic, meaning that both Italian and German are officially recognized and taught in schools. The combination of alternating jam and nutella fillings in blooming, brioche-like rolls are irresistible especially in these colder winter months. And we Florentines are more than happy to take a culinary cue from Elena who’s notorious for her way with desserts…
The video is in Italian but each step of the baking process is methodically shown in the video. Italian language students – take it as a true linguistic exercise, there are no subtitles! For questions about ingredients and the recipe overall, feel free to email ufficio.stampa@palazziflorence.com.
