Here is a field trip for Cristina!!!

Non Solo Pane
Via San Gimignano,25/r
Poggibonsi
0577/933-165

When you are coming from the Poggibonsi COOP, take the round about back towards Poggibonsi, following the signs to Colle Val d'elsa and San Gimignano, this will take you over the bridge, passing over the train tracks, turn left, follow the Colle San Gimmy signs, when you get to where you have to decide between the two, turn to the left for Colle.
KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN... on the right hand side before the first right to Colle, you will see a sign PIZZA NAPOLETANO NON SOLO PANE, tied onto a wall. The bakery is down the driveway and to the left.

Today we went back... and I asked about the casiettello.. I had bought it last week, bread with prosciutto bits baked into it!!!

It is made everyday except Sunday ( unless you call in your order!
They also do Pizza's to take home..big rectangular ones ( call in) they are open until 10PM.
Sunday is Pastry day!!!! I can immagine it is a zoo!
I can see Cristina now doing her saltimbocca casiettello dance
I sure am!

NOw I am going to have my Sfogliatello with a cup of JAVA

Yep doing the saltinbocca dance but casatiello I make better than any bakery I have ever tried. Next Easter come down my way and I'll give you some. I make one for tradition but give away most to my friends (two families) from Naples. The family two doors down will be thrilled to hear about the bakery BTW.

Enjoy the sfogliatella! The bakery here in Siena that I like makes special ones on Sunday. They are lobster tail shaped and huge. Filled with cream (sometimes with nutella) and are sold for €1.30 each. What a deal. Line is out the door normally every Sunday for these and other treats. Will look for the name in case you are interested.

Thanks so much for the name and address. Will be heading there next week!!!!!

I am not dancing over the sfogliatello.. I prefer the chantilly filling, the ricotta and semola is too heavy!
My pastry shop in Florence Sieni , right in front of the market makes mini ones, with chantilly. more pastry to filling.. I do 2~

I need to be in Poggibonsi right now! All this delicious talk of sfoglitello(my weakness) and casatiello. Cristina, can you share your recipe?

Here is the link for the EARLIER THREAD with the casatiello "recipe". I don't always use prosciutto. Just when I have extra floating around as this is what casatiello is all about. Left over meats and cheese to make a meal out of. Make sure you get good lard or render it yourself.

Oh and I learned how to make it from Mario at Caffe Macaroni in the City so if you need help just drop by (not during rush hour of course) and ask him
