Recipe

1. Making the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add the lemon zest, then pour in the oil and white wine. Knead until the dough is soft and smooth, not sticky.
2. Shaping the pitteddhe: Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's about half a centimeter thick. Use a glass or pastry cutter to cut out discs. Place a teaspoon of jam in the center of each disc.
3. Closing and decoration Fold the edges slightly inwards, pinching them with your fingers to form a small decorative frame that holds the jam during cooking.
4. Baking: Arrange the pitteddhe on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
5. CoolingLet them cool completely before serving, so that the jam sets and the biscuits are crumbly.
