Strucchi 225g - typical Friulian sweet.

The Strucchi are traditional sweets from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, especially from the Valli del Natisone. While they share a filling similar to that of gubana, they are distinguished by their different shape. They can be either fried or baked and are typically served during holidays and other special occasions.

Strucchi 225g - typical Friulian sweet.: How is it produced

The preparation of strucchi involves several steps. It starts with rolling out a dough similar to that of gubana, which is then cut into small squares or circles. A filling is placed in the center of each piece of dough, and the dough is closed to form small bundles. These can be fried in hot oil until golden brown or baked for a lighter version.

Fried strucchi are often dusted with powdered sugar, while those baked can be brushed with butter and sugar before baking to achieve a golden and crunchy surface. Strucchi are a perfect example of how Friulian cuisine can transform simple ingredients into refined and delicious sweets, preserving the culinary traditions of the region.
