Mix the warm water, yeast, and sugar, then let it foam for 8 minutes.
Add the flour and salt to make a smooth batter that slowly runs from the spoon.
Cover the batter and rest it for 30 minutes, until bubbly.
Heat the pan over medium heat with a little vegetable oil.
Pour small ladles of batter and cook for 2 minutes per side, until browned.
Cook the remaining batter the same way, lightly oiling the pan for each batch.
Serve the ciritta hot with white cheese and honey.
💡 Tip: The batter should be like drinkable yogurt; if it is too thick, ciritta will not puff in the pan, and if too loose, the edges will not set.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve ciritta hot with tea, white cheese, honey, and seasonal tomatoes.
