The rustic with nduja and onions was created to make a recipe where the main ingredient is ‘nduja.
Since my husband loves spicy food, he was definitely the best critic for a recipe with chili pepper, and luckily the outcome was very positive.
The Spilinga nduja I used in this recipe was provided by Buongustai di Calabria, a company that distributes Calabrian products.
Furthermore, on their site you can find many other products, where you will have the option to order them and receive them comfortably at your home.
I’m sure you will be tempted by so much goodness!
I propose my recipe, which has been very successful, so make the rustic with nduja and let me know what you think!

Ingredients to make Rustic with Nduja
- 10 cups Water
- 1 packet Dry yeast
- 4.5 cups Type 0 flour
- 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 10.5 oz Spilinga nduja Buongustai di Calabria
- 3 Onions (large)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 3.5 oz Mozzarella
Preparation of Rustic with Nduja
First, dissolve the dry yeast in lukewarm water, add a little flour, then the salt, the oil, and continue adding the remaining flour, mixing until obtaining a compact, non-sticky dough. Let rise in a warm, covered place for at least 2 hours.
Once the dough has risen, place it on a floured work surface and knead until it forms a non-sticky ball.
Divide into two balls and let it rise for about 1 hour. Take the dough and from each ball, roll out a rectangular sheet.
On one half lengthwise, place the ‘nduja, then the onion, and finally the mozzarella at a distance of 1.5 inches from the edge of the sheet.
Fold the sheet from the side where there is less dough, then close with the other remaining dough, closing the roll and shaping it a little with your hands.
Cut off the excess dough at the ends, cut slices about 0.6 inches thick and place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, cover, and let rise for at least 30 more minutes. Check the photos for a clearer idea of how to make the folds.
Bake in a preheated oven at 428°F for about 20 minutes.
