The Casadiella is a typical dessert from Asturias. It consists of a pastry made of wheat flour, flavored with Anis del Mono (Anisette) or wine, and filled with toasted hazelnuts and/or walnuts and sugar. Finally they are fried.[1]

Final result

The final shape is a tube approximately ten centimeters long with ends that are closed with a fork.

Dough preparation

== Preparation ==

This recipe can be prepared manually or with Thermomix.

Making the dough with Thermomix:

Ingredients:
500 g wheat flour
100 g oil
150 g water
50 g milk.
30 g yeast
1 teaspoon salt

Put all ingredients in the bowl except yeast and flour, then cook for 1 minute at 40ºC/104ºF, set at speed 2.
Next, add yeast and flour, then cook for 20 seconds at speed 6.
Finally, let it rise for 3 minutes on dough mode.

===Filling===

Ingredients:
1 c milled hazelnuts or walnuts (toasted).
1/2 c sugar.

Mix ingredients with anisette, wine or other liquor.
Once you have dough prepared, use a rolling pin to spread it and then cut it into sections about 10 cm square. Put filling into each piece and fold it. Close ends with a fork.
Finally, fry them with the fold down so that filling stays inside. Optional: You may drizzle sugar or honey over top.
