Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 15 min.
Remove the skin from 500 g dry sausage or salami and dice small.
Stage 2 - 15 min.
Spread 120 g pistachios on a baking sheet and toast for 15 minutes in the oven at 300°F (150°C).
Stage 4 - 15 min.
Start kneading on minimum speed, then pour in 650 ml red wine.
Knead for 3 minutes like this, then on speed "1" for a further 8 minutes. When the dough temperature reaches 75°F (24°C, it is ready).
