BAKING ITALY'S MOST DELICIOUS PASTRY: LA SFOGLIATELLA (ITALIAN SUBTITLES)

The French are the best at croissants, the Austrians have strudel, the Greeks do baklava... but if you're in Italy, wondering what the most unique and delicious pastry is for a sweet treat - the answer is la sfogliatella. This traditional dish from the Amalfi Coast originally and then proudly adopted by Naples, can be found all over Italy, best devoured standing up at the bar with a strong espresso. It's light and flaky with an orange and cinnamon scented ricotta filling. I hope you like this episode from Italy. You can find many more videos on my channel about how I learned Italian and moved to Italy.

My story about meeting my Italian boyfriend…. I was playing piano/singing at a living room concert and there he was. I’m Italian so wanted to say yes to a date. On my break I asked him, first 😉what is the Italian pastry (and it’s not a cannoli). He said sfogliatelle. 14 years later, we’re still together 💓❤️💕 can’t wait to try your recipe !!!

[@KylieFlavell]

What a great story! I love it!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@veronicamiele375]

I love seeing how your life has changed over the years. I'll always remember watching a video about your struggles and dealing with some sadness. But wow...look where life has taken you! You seem so at peace and so happy. What a blessing!❤

[@sjmartin27]

All I wanted was a video on how sfogliatella is made, as it is my most cherished pastry. This video is a work of art. Kylie, you should have your own TV show! Sorry, but I have to go watch any and allllll of your videos! I feel so fortunate to have found this video and you God bless.

I remember my lovely Italian piano teacher. After every lesson, she and her sisters would serve me delicious home made Italian pastries. It was a delight to finish my lesson. (Did you know that Jordan Peterson is part Italian? He’s a treasure to this world.)

[@Pilot333]

Wow.... I thought that could be Jordan Peterson. So he was indeed the one on the podcast?! That is great. I love listening to him too. And he has such a high intelectual vibe to him. It really appeals to a need in me. This intellectual depth is nourishing me.

[@TenTenJ]

@@Pilot333 what a wonderful description, I wholeheartedly agree!

[@Pilot333]

@@TenTenJ Whille watching Kylie and listening to Jordan, I am gravitating more and more to my "tribe"..... Although I am not at all a "Tribe-person". I don't like "tribes" so much. I very much enjoy standing on my own feet. But This is what appeals to me.... and it strenghtens me. It is like becoming more sovereign while acknowledging more people are blossoming into this unique flavour.

I’m salivating! I never could have imagined how many steps there are to making this delicious pastry! Watching you labor with love and artistry, I couldn’t help reflecting, that if baking were theater, this was a beautiful choreography. Thank you so much!

[@KylieFlavell]

Thank you so much Maria. Yes, I always think that too - the movements of cooking have such a beautiful rhythm.

[@Haupialani]

I had a sfogliatella for breakfast at a BNB in Napoli. I was in a rush but the owner said 'But you must eat!'. And I'm glad I did. This delicate yet complicated dessert was absolutely wonderful. It was still warm on the inside and the taste of orange was so subtle I thought I was imagining it. I will have to try this at least once. Grazie mille for sharing.

[@hjisagirl]

One of my favorite experiences while travelling in Italy twice for four months total, was enjoying my breakfast pastry and cappuccino el fresco, each and every morning, soaking up the ambiance.

[@gaslitworldf.melissab2897]

I love the flow of your life and envy the expertise and dedication with which you produce this channel, expending energy and time editing after filming, perhaps not always getting 8 hours of sleep. I hope you fully intend to have nannies, b/c newborns and toddlers bring down the house. I would fully understand if you took off a few years or just created fewer videos in future. That would make something already special priceless. You're lit from within, like the sun.

[@julieyoder8679]

Such a wonderful video, I am a chef at heart so I love watching you cook, and love to see the sparkle in Guido's eyes when he eats what you make. You two are adorable and he always looks like he hit the jackpot with you Kylie.

[@gracegiven5093]

Kylie, you have the patience of a saint! You take such time and care in preparing and sharing your recipes. What a visual feast! I do not know if this was conscious or subconscious on your part, but the Jordan Peterson conversation, the visual glimpses into your surroundings, and the history of these wonderful Italian delicacies all shared a common thread. Brilliant storytelling, yet again!!! Thank you so much. You transport me to Italy every week!!!

[@KylieFlavell]

Thank you. Yes, historical recipes and meditative repetition in work always make me think about larger discussions on humanity, which Peterson does so well. ✨

A sfogliatella, is a shell-shaped filled Italian pastry native to Campania. Sfogliatella means "small, thin leaf/layer", as the pastry's texture resembles stacked leaves.

[@deborahhardy4445]

Though I would never have the patience to make this delicious pastry, I used to eat it a lot when I lived in NYC, where it is widely available at Italian bakeries, where so many have Southern Italian roots.So delicious.Watching you make it was like a meditation- all lit with that warm Italian glow.You are just beautiful, Kylie.Guido is a very lucky man!

[@sarahp1383]

Bless those hands which made these delicious La Sfogliatella. Salute you for your patience and all the hard work that has gone it. Hours to make, which in minutes will be polished off. Love your collection of bowls, flower vase in the corner abundantly filled with lilac blooms , the graceful swan, beautiful cut glass and the gorgeous tea towel. Their colours add so much warmth to your cosy kitchen.

Mesmerizing visuals! As someone who is married to an Italian as well and have learned the most wonderful recipes, all I can say is that your videos are amazing. And JP in the background is the added bonus we all need. Beautiful 😍 Edit: I make these sfogliatelle as well and I know another way of making them. It takes a shorter time in my opinion. I stretch all the dough at once on a big table with the help of starch which helps make the these layers basically transparent. Then I cut all of the sheet of dough in stripes and butter them and then put them one over the other and then give the pastry the cigar shape. In northern Italy they are filled with the same filling as apple strudel.
