Questions

How long does Casadielles take?

As written, 45 minutes: 30 of prep and 15 of cooking. The longest single stretch is the hands-off wait in step 1, 20 minutes.

Can I skip chilling the dough for Casadielles?

Not without a cost. The rest in step 1 firms the fat and relaxes the gluten, so the dough holds its shape and bakes up tender instead of spreading or shrinking.

What can I use instead of white wine in Casadielles?

The entry for Casadielles calls for 6 tbsp dry white wine. In its place: Use chicken or vegetable stock with a teaspoon of white wine vinegar or lemon juice per half cup for the acidity.

Can I make Casadielles gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in Casadielles is 2 cups all-purpose flour. Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works). Everything else proceeds as written.
