Ingredients
525 g 00 flour
150 g Whole Milk UHT Microfiltered Sterilgarda
5 g chestnut honey
90 g soft butter
8 g fine salt
200 mL water
21 g dry brewer's yeast (with dehydrated sourdough)
120 g sugar
3 egg
5 g ground cinnamon
400 g mascarpone Sterilgarda
180 g Whipping Creame Sterilgarda
60 g powdered sugar
1 Teaspoon of vanilla extract
80 g sugar
Preparation
  1. Making maritozzi begins with the dough. Combine the flour, dried yeast, sugar, salt, and honey in a bowl.
  2. Begin kneading the dough with the dough hook of a stand mixer, then slowly pour in 100 ml of water and the Sterilgarda Whole Milk at room temperature. Add the cinnamon only when the mixture is smooth.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time and work the dough until it forms a ball around the hook.
  4. Add the softened butter in small pieces: knead for 20 minutes at medium speed to ensure the mixture absorbs the butter well. Shape the dough into a ball and transfer to a large bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest until doubled in size (about 2 hours).
  5. Once the dough has risen, form 90g balls and pinch the edges to create the typical maritozzo shape. Let them rise for an hour on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. When they have doubled in size, whisk the egg yolk with 150g of Sterilgarda Whipping Cream and brush the maritozzi with it.
  6. Bake in a preheated static oven at 180° in the lower part for about 25 minutes (until they are golden).
  7. While the pastry cools, prepare the syrup by placing 100 ml of water and the sugar in a small saucepan over high heat. Let the sugar dissolve and brush the maritozzi with the syrup. For the filling, combine the Sterilgarda mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 30 g of Sterilgarda whipping cream in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and well-whipped.
  8. Make a cut in the center of the maritozzi and fill with the cream, smooth the cream that comes out with a spatula and finally serve after dusting with icing sugar.
