What an absolutely perfect version of Sfogliatella! You did such a great job of taking a recipe that most professionals consider an absolute nightmare and making a great step by step tutorial that's easy to follow! When I used to make these with my grandmother she never used the pasta machine. She'd stretch it out across her dining room table with a special "sofgliatelle tablecloth" she used to help roll it up with. Kudos to you! The only thing that I would say is I vaguely remember there being a difference between Sfogliatella and lobster tails. The lobster tails usually being filled with a choux paste first to help get better height and length and then being filled with cream instead of that beautiful semolina filling. Thanks again!
After watching your video, I think I might be able to actually attempt this. You always take the most challenging bakes and make them approachable. Thank you so very much!
Hi guys, Ben here! Thanks for all the feedback and comments🙂 There will be more croissant and laminated pastry related video coming soon. Including a series of detailed theories on the croissant dough, the butter, the proofing, and temperature..etc. I'm back to work now so the upload time would be very random now. However, I do check comments every day and I try to answer all your questions as fast as possible, so feel free to ask any questions! Thanks again for all your supports! Keep claim and bake on!😁
haiii iam from indonesia.. my people here unknow much about spogliatella so i’ve search in the internet how to make it and then i see your video its so helpfull with simple tools and tutorial. i just wanna say thank you so much its so mean alot for me ❤
Me too. I was thinking of using only butter, but noticed most of the recipes use lard. I suppose instead of lard, you could use vegetable shortening if you want. Butter provides a better flavor too.
I’ve been so intrigued lately with this pastry and this is the first video I came across that shows the technique along with the recipe to follow. Thanks, Benny, I’ll give it a go! ❤ I needed this confidence boost. 😊
Beautifully done!! As a certified chef/baker it is the ONLY thing that intimidates me 🤔but thanks to your video I’m forced and confident enough to give it a try TY
Damn these look and sound absolutely perfect! Whenever I visit Puglia in Italy I visit a local Pasticceria and sfogliatelle are always a must buy. Thank you for this detailed tutorial! I really appreciate the time and effort and if I'm brave enough, I'll try to bake them myself soon 😊 I might try and bake them with crema del salento as filling instead, I believe this is the filling the local bakers use.
Make sure to chill the semolina mix before adding to cream cheese. :) also we add essence of orange to the water . 😊 thank you so much for this video! I've watched it 100 times
I tried both (what I believe is) the original with semolina filling and the choux-chantilly variation and I have to say the original is the winner by far! Way more interesting than the version with whipped cream.
Wow!!! I saw this pastry made once, on master chef, in Israel. I thought it was hard to make, now I know its crazy hard!! Wish I had a pasta maker so I could give it a try, I love challenges!! Thanks for this video, well done!!
Gracias 🙏 Súper me salieron con todo que la Guerra de la máquina de rodillo a sido brutal, pero al final conseguí Tu forma de trabajar me animo a probar Saludos y gracias por compartir 🎉
Interesting how you used butter between the layers instead of crisco. Also, you used cream cheese instead of ricotta. I want to try your version. Butter would be better than crisco and give a better flavor. I will need to practice spreading out each round to form a cone too.
This is fascinating, thank you! I only just heard of sfogliatelle, and came straight to RUclips to see how it was made, and you did not disappoint! Looks like you need a big kitchen and lots of oven space to do this...I'm wondering how cutting the recipe by 1/3 would work. xD
Dunno about frying in oil. The secret of the flaky pastry is the fat layer keeping the flakes separate. This layer will dissolve as soon as you dump the pastry in the hot oil. You'd have to find a way to connect the flakes at one end and keep them separate at the other.
@@Bennysbaked I have made croissants plenty of times and it's definitely much easier than this method for sfogliatella. 😂🤣 Lots of butter here, too! Too bad I don't have a pasta roller, so I will have to put this one on the back burner to-make list.
The sfogliatelle in NJ don’t have the semolina filling though! custard or whipped cream fillings are more popular than the cream cheese and semolina filling 😋
Came out amazing! A question, first time I hear about this golden syrup, can I substitute it with smth, honey? Also, is it possible to substitute semolina with corn flour? Thanks a lot.
@@kookadoo Thank you for the support, I have been unwell since last year, going through many treatments, and now recovering from the surgery 🙂 but I have never given up teaching pastry, once I am well enough mentally and physically I will definitely start filming again 💪❤ Thank you guys again!
@@Bennysbaked oh man, that is tough, really sorry to hear that. You would think someone stops posting cos he has better things to do etc. I'm really glad it's going well and wish u a speedy recovery and to be back sharing with us the amazing skills !!! I may try this one on my channel, and give the credits if that is ok. All the best ❤
I advise to use a little more water in the dough! Why such a low hydration? I made the recipe and when I was at the final rolling stage with butter it was tearing, especially when streching in width and the edges of the dough were brittle. I had to take the last remaining dough off the rolling pin, and re-roll it in the pasta machine. I wetted the dough a little and laminated it a couple of times and the resulting dough was way better to work with. Like in the video and didnt tear at all. What is the preferred protein percentage of the flour???!!
Originale recepe calls for ricotta and semolina, but i would like to try this as well, if you make them smaller you can fill them with chocolate pastry cream
Hi here from Italy ! You did not use Ricotta cheese for the filling, as is the case with the original Neapolitan Sfogliatelle in Naples ? I read… Cream cheese ... but not.. Ricotta.
I saw one filled with pistachio cream (or is it a pistachio paste?)..... i am intrigued by this. WHY hasn't this become a hit in America, while the croissant is otherwise ubiquitous and enjoys the perceived fame it has?
I tried making this yesterday. My dough did not come anywhere near as hydrated as yours did out of the mixer. I definitely was not able to gather it all together and form a ball that is for sure. I kneaded it by hand for about 25 minutes and I just got a bunch of "cheese curd" dough pieces. What am I doing wrong do you think? I weighed all of the ingredients out as per your recipe.
Depends on the type Flour and even the Brand. You see, different brands have different millings proceses, so some flours absorb less water while others absorb more
Thank you! I am now planning on making soon. After freezing the disk pieces for future baking, should I just let the ones I want to bake defrost in refrigerator covered overnight and then let come to room temp before shaping?
Hi i tried to redo ur Recipe :) I have a Problem, every time i add the egg to the filling, it won’t thicken up as much as the filling in the video. Before i added the egg it seemed like it was the same consistency. Any tips or help? I did everything exactly like in the video, used Mascarpone as Cream cheese. I only did a half portion, so 140 g Water, 65g sugar, 45g semola, then 150g mascarpone and the other things. 2:35 Thankful for any tips and tricks
This has to be the most detailed Sfogliatella pastry tutorial on youtube!! Well done!!
Thank you!
Great instructions! Thank you 😊
But this isn't Sfogliatella
@@Bennysbaked what is the Golden Syrup and is there an American equivalent?
Honey

Some kind of version of it..Original sfogliatella doesen't have cinnamon and cream cheese but ricotta and Orange peel

Thank you for your support😀 Please don't hesitate to ask me anything about pastry on my instagram!
sure ❤
I learned that they make these in the Philippines and deep fry them. They pinch them shut so the filling doesn't spill out. Wonderful. Thanks.
I will try that! Thanks for letting me know!
Man, if only I had enough hours in my day to do a challenge like this one. How would this ever be a profitable pastry, there is so much work involved!
Unless this is the only pastry you sell in your shop, it just wayy too time consuming!!😂
I’m so happy I found a recipe that uses butter. Thank u.
Hope you enjoy
Me too. I was thinking of using only butter, but noticed most of the recipes use lard. I suppose instead of lard, you could use vegetable shortening if you want. Butter provides a better flavor too.

That's alot of work for the Lil price people pay for delicate pastry. I won't complain. Looks delicious 😋
Omg these looks amazing. My Dad loved these. I am on Keto, but will try and convert the ingredients. Thank you!
Best video I’ve seen on the web for lobster tails. Thanks so much for a great explanation ❤️
Wow….. you are an artist, not a baker. Amazing!
Thank you!

that was an amazing tutorial. thanks so much for sharing!!!! they look wonderful!!! ❤
Really great tutorial. I miss the bakeries in NY.
I'm giving these a shot tomorrow. They look awesome

@mcfinnigan23 You have to eat them in Naples, where they were born.
With the amount of time and energy spent, personally I would jump on a plane to Italy and eat it there.
@@gittevogelbein8259 noooo😂 think about how rewarding it would be!
Make sure to chill the semolina mix before adding to cream cheese. :) also we add essence of orange to the water . 😊 thank you so much for this video! I've watched it 100 times
Yummy!!!
Loved it must try
Wow. Gonna' try my best to replicate a big batch of these little beauties as soon as I find a kitchen to bake them in.
Wow! They look amazing.
I like that you showed the failed experiment. SO nice that not everything comes out perfectly!
Great tutorial..It is the best video..Thanks for sharing..
Thank you!
Finally, I can find right dough for my apple strudel. Thank you.
You're welcome! :)
I tried both (what I believe is) the original with semolina filling and the choux-chantilly variation and I have to say the original is the winner by far! Way more interesting than the version with whipped cream.
Ikr!
The “whipped cream version” when done properly is one third whipped cream, one third ricotta, one third vanilla pudding.
@ sounds yummy?
Wow!!! I saw this pastry made once, on master chef, in Israel. I thought it was hard to make, now I know its crazy hard!! Wish I had a pasta maker so I could give it a try, I love challenges!!

Made this today. It was soooo good!!
I'm happy for you!
Not what I expected out of a random "minecraft long play" playlist, but I will watch it

Hi, thank you! Yes it'll still work but you won't get as many layers as mine that's all🙂
This is why you go to an Italian bakery to get your crunchy lobster tails!!
Very well done, thanks.
Thank you!
Bravissimo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You are an artist. Edit: And I am a subsciber.
☺Thank you!
Dunno about frying in oil. The secret of the flaky pastry is the fat layer keeping the flakes separate. This layer will dissolve as soon as you dump the pastry in the hot oil. You'd have to find a way to connect the flakes at one end and keep them separate at the other.
Awesome
Wow, and I thought croissants were difficult to make. This one beats that. LOL

Came here because I wanted to find out what a “shweeadell” was, per Christopher Moltisanti. And this _does not_ disappoint! 🥐😋
This cracked me up. I would have spelled it “shfooyadel”😂
Ooooohhh the sfogliatelle! What’s wrong with you??

Wow😳 Looks incredibly hard but, also intriguiing! I wish you would make talking videos though😩

It was 12% flour, if you add more water the dough will be very sticky once you roll it out!

Do I use semolina or semolina flour? Like the fine one or the coarser grind?
a pro bakery with a a beautifully detailed video but i 🤔 its so near to paratha the dough i mean definitely im gone try it
Haha, thank you!
This is AWESOME omg 😩🙌🏽
Thank you!🙂
Perfect ❤
My roll keeps on sticking to the table surface. How do I prevent it from happening?
Amazing recipe btw. Thank you
maybe your dough was too wet?
@@Bennysbaked not sure, it didn't seem so. However I'll try a less wet version. Thank you for your reply.
Very much appreciated :)
Thank you for the video! I was wondering, what type of pasta maker do you use? Or how can I know when buying a pasta maker if it will be thin enough?
All pasta makers should be fine. You stretch the dough with hands in the final stage.
Now this is a worthy challenge! Finally found an excuse to buy a pasta machine. Question :how much butter do you need for the recipe?
About 200g, depends on how much you grease the pastry, some people use more some less.

Using an electric scale? It sounds like a measurement error.
@@Bennysbaked Yes. Used a digital scale. :-( The measurements were accurate.
@@vincentchan1173 hmm that shouldn't happen if the measurements are correct 🤔

Wow this looks amazing, will you be able to make this if you don't have a pasta maker to make it as thin as you have it?
You can roll with a rolling pin, but it's going to take a lot of work!
Hi! Thanks for a great recipe and video. I made the Sfogliatella, its turned out very tasty and flaky but also flat. What do you think is the reason?
Filling too wet?
