Preparation time: 15 minutes

Number of servings: 12 cornetti

Yogurt cornetti are an excellent choice for a tasty breakfast or a sweet snack, perfect to be enjoyed alongside a cup of coffee or tea. These fluffy pastries are not only easy to make but also extremely versatile, allowing you to customize them with various fillings. Let's get started!

Ingredients:

- 500 g of white flour (preferably type 000)
- 200 g of natural yogurt (you can use Greek yogurt for a creamier texture)
- 100 g of sugar
- 1 packet of baking powder (about 10 g)
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2 eggs (1 for the dough and 1 for brushing)
- 75 g of melted butter (or oil, if you prefer a lighter version)
- Grated zest of a lemon or orange (optional, for extra flavor)
- Powdered sugar for decoration (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. It is essential that all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a uniform and fluffy dough.

2. Mixing the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. This step helps aerate the flour and achieve a fine texture for the dough.

3. Preparing the dough: In another bowl, beat one egg and add the yogurt and melted butter. If desired, now is the time to add the grated lemon or orange zest for a delicious aroma. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until a homogeneous dough forms. Don't worry if the dough is a bit sticky; it's perfectly normal!

4. Kneading the dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead it gently for 2-3 minutes until it becomes elastic. I recommend not adding too much flour; a slightly sticky dough will result in fluffier cornetti.

5. Shaping the cornetti: Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle (about 20 cm in diameter). Cut each circle into 8 triangles. You can fill each triangle with jam, chocolate, nuts, or sweet cheese, depending on your preferences. Roll each triangle from the base to the tip, forming the cornetto.

6. Baking: Place the cornetti on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them. Beat the second egg and brush each cornetto with a thin layer for a beautiful golden color when baked. Bake the cornetti in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20-25 minutes or until golden.

7. Cooling and serving: Once baked, let the cornetti cool on a cooling rack. If desired, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top for an attractive appearance.

Serving suggestions: These yogurt cornetti are delicious served warm, but they are just as good at room temperature. You can accompany them with chocolate sauce or a mixture of yogurt and honey for a healthy and comforting breakfast.

Possible variations: Instead of jam, you can try savory fillings, such as feta cheese with dill or an olive spread. These yogurt cornetti are extremely versatile and can be adapted to everyone's tastes.

Now it's time to enjoy these fluffy and aromatic cornetti! Make them with love and share them with your loved ones, promising them a morning full of flavor and joy. Bon appétit!

The butter is melted in a bain-marie and then cooled. In a bowl, mix the flour, butter, yogurt, baking powder, and vanilla, adding a pinch of salt. A good, soft dough is kneaded, which is rolled out into a round sheet 0.5 cm thick, cut into 8 triangles. In the center of each triangle, a filling is placed, which can be Nutella, Finetti, jam... or even sweet cheese... The triangles are rolled from the wide side to the tip and placed on a lined baking tray, not brushed, and baked in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes... they cool, are dusted with powder, and served... they are fantastically good....
