My Grandma made this for us when I was a kid. Grandma was 1st generation Italian American and 3rd oldest of 27 (yes 27) brothers and sisters. She was taught old world cooking from her mother. Out of 7 grandchildren i was the oldest and the only boy. I was also the only one that offered to help when she cooked and baked as I found it fascinating. She taught me many awesome tips over the years that I've heard echoed from various Food Network stars like it was a new thing. In 2012 she passed away, peacefully in her sleep even though she was as active and sassy as ever at 92, RIP. The point is that in her will she left me three things. The "special spoon", a fancy silver spoon that us grandkids would fight over which i usually let my sister use. Her old rolling pin, which she knew i loved. Lastly her recipes (including sfogliatella), which she told no one and were given to me on the condition that I tell no one untll i hand them down. I adored my Grandparents, but otherwise my family sucks. I had everyone from my mom to aunts and uncles and cousins trying to get me to share those recipes with them. And did I? Nope. But I do cook them for my family (wife and kids) and my in-laws (because they don't suck). My daughter has shadowed me in the kitchen ever since she was little and at 30 she is the lead baker and decorator at a high end cake shop, so...
@@Eris_StrifeMy brother... Thank you for this little story. I read every word and resonated with it. My grandmother is a great cook and everything you mentioned in your relationship with your grandma was pretty much how it was for us (my grandma and I). I say 'is' cuz I can never accept that she has left. She left just abt a year ago.. and I've been down.. really down. Every moment hurts. But your story put a smile on my face. A very bittersweet one. Only sad thing is that.. my family is extremely fucked up hence, there was never a will. I own nothing of hers but the memories we shared ❤I remember some of her recipes by heart so I guess its okay..
My mom was an OK cook. She made this "French Chicken" dish every time we came home or they came to visit. How I hated that dish. Meanwhile everyone else got my dad's gumbo or crawfish bisque or something else wonderful. My mom did have a cream cheese pie recipe that she gave my sister in law. She wouldn't share it with her children but I sure did. I do love that pie.
For those of you wondering. The significant difficulty of this dish comes from getting the layers for the crust done well. The thinner you are able to get each layer of the crust the better. As you increase the number of layers it becomes harder to work with the dough and very easy to tear or mess up. This is in addition to the time that it takes to make. For a basic recipe and average bakers, you can make it good enough, but high-quality authentic Sfoglitella requires dedication and practice, like any culinary art dish.
As an italian i'm really happy you nailed it. Sfogliatella napoletana and coda di aragosta are one of the best neapolitan pastries, but the best way is to use a pasta machine to roll the dough to more than paper thin
The only downside is it isnt even as nearly as good as other italian breads, yet it is harder and more laborious to make, but successfully making should be rewarding enough
@@Bandicoot_Power I’ve heard of people who grew up in the mountains who you would think are German. It’s possible maybe he grew up in a French speaking population
@@jaytravis2487 really similar alphabet and pronunciation, despite being similar, you can recognize Russian because it uses harsher sounds than italian and has words mainly made up of consonants
@@KameraJunior Well, not just candied orange peels, but lemon and cider (similar to a giant lemon that's bigger than grapefruit and has a really thick white part of peel) candied peels aswell. You just cut 'em in 1cm squares and mix 'em in the filling and that's basicly how they make it in Naples which is considered the place they invented sfogliatella. Oh, and another thing... they also love to add orange flour water for the aroma... In Italy orange flower water is like looking for vanilla: it's in any baking section of every supermarket. Definetly worth trying out, the aroma is very delicate and carachteristic, but not overpowering. They also have this custardy pie in Naples called Pastiera and it's also amazing and the filling is very unique: they boil grains of wheat (they soaked up in water the night before) in milk with sugar and cinnamon bars, let it cool, add eggs, ricotta, the above mentioned candied peels and orange flower water and it's unbelivably chunky and runny when you put it in the oven, but it's so soft, creamy, chewy and juicy and I cann't explain it but as days go by, it tastes better and better... 😂 The best thing is if you keep on a room temperature, becouse all the flavours really burst out... 🤤

Lard is traditionally used in the south Italy because the warm climate turned rancid butter quickly, before the invention of fridge
That's really interesting! I knew the north was more butter/beer than the souths wine/olive oil, but I wondered what they used for baking
