Ingredients
- 2 cups flour (the flour you usually use)

- 1 tsp instant baking powder (for savory recipes)
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
Steps
Pour the flour into a bowl, add the baking powder, the salt, the egg, the Parmesan and mix; add the water a little at a time while you continue to stir.
Knead well, move to a floured work surface and work the dough a little to make it smooth and homogeneous; if needed dust with flour — it should not be sticky.
Divide the dough into 6 pieces, shape into small ropes and close by overlapping the two ends.
Bake in the oven at 356°F for about 12-15 minutes or in the air fryer at 374°F for 8 minutes, turning them halfway, or fry in hot oil.

Quick PARMESAN GRAFFE
Useful tips: use aged Parmesan for a stronger flavor, don’t overdo the flour to keep the graffe soft, and if you want to make them even tastier you can add pepper, paprika or aromatic herbs. They keep for a few hours at room temperature, but my simple advice is: make them and eat them right away.

FAQ Quick PARMESAN GRAFFE
Can parmesan graffe be made with a long rise?
Absolutely yes! Just use baker’s yeast and let the dough rest.
Can I bake the parmesan graffe in the oven or in an air fryer?
Certainly! I baked them in the air fryer because it was a small batch of dough.
What cheese can I use instead of Parmesan?
You can use Grana Padano or Pecorino or any hard grating cheese — not a soft cheese in this case.
Are they suitable as an appetizer?
Certainly! They are perfect as an appetizer, for an aperitif, a snack or a treat for adults and children.
Can they be prepared in advance?
Yes, but I recommend making them the same day because they firm up sooner compared to slow-risen doughs made with baker’s yeast.
