2. Ricotta and tomato tartlets
A simple and light base, thanks to Ar.pa’s S. Lucia Yeast for Pizza and Savory Bakes, filled with ricotta, Parmesan, and a slice of tomato. The result is a balance of creaminess, acidity, and savoriness, enclosed in a small savory tartlet. A fresh and wholesome summer snack.
3. Savoury turmeric croissants
Soft, colorful, and spiced: these croissants are enriched with turmeric and filled with Fontina cheese and sautéed mushrooms. Ar.pa’s San Gennaro Yeast gives the dough lightness and volume, while sesame seeds on top make them even more appetizing—perfect served hot or cold.
