It\u00a0is common to dip the\u00a0ciambella\u00a0into wines such as Cagnina di Romagna or\u00a0Albana. Or even better, dip it into a glass of Sangiovese red wine, as we did \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cookwithgusto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ciambella_dip_wine_taste_with_gusto300.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8081 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cookwithgusto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ciambella_dip_wine_taste_with_gusto300.jpg\" alt=\"ciambella_dip_wine_taste_with_gusto300\" width=\"300\" height=\"196\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The classic shape of the\u00a0ciambella romagnola is an oval,\u00a0without a hole in the centre. Its\u00a0texture is soft on the inside and crispy outside.<\/p>\n<p>As in the case of many traditional recipes, it is difficult to say which one is the &#8220;original&#8221;, because each family has its own version.<\/p>\n<p>Today there are many variations of the recipe but the basic ingredients are similar\u00a0&#8211; flour, sugar, oil, butter or lard, milk, and eggs. Our ciambella is healthier because it is prepared with extra virgin olive oil, brown sugar instead of white, and covered with thinly sliced almonds. Also, there is less sugar, thanks to a tip we got from an expert pastry chef from Romagna: add 1 tablespoon of high-quality apricot jam in place of 50 gm. of sugar.<\/p>\n<p>Another good thing about preparing ciambella\u00a0is that it fills your home with a wonderful aroma.<\/p>\n<h4>Ingredients<\/h4>\n<p>for 6 people<\/p>\n<p>Flour 00 400 gm.<br \/>\nBrown sugar 100 gm.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/tastewithgusto.ie\/shop\/7-olive-oils\/\">Extra virgin olive oil<\/a> 100 gm.<br \/>\nWhole milk 50 ml<br \/>\nEggs 2<br \/>\nInstant yeast 12 gm.
