cauciuni

/kah-oo-CHYOO-nee/
[Italian]

Small stuffed pastries from the Puglia. Bread dough is rolled out into a thin sheet which is divided into separate ravioli. These may be stuffed with pecorino cheese mixed with egg yolks, sugar and grated lemon rind, or the dough may be sweetened and filled with ricotta cheese mixed with egg yolks, sugar, grated chocolate, almonds and cinnamon. Unlike caciunitti, these are baked.
