Just like the original sweet recipe, these salty lady's kisses are irresistible, with their unmistakable shape and crumbly texture.
For my salty lady's kisses I used a mixture of "low carb" flour, based on wholemeal spelled and amaranth flour, born from the collaboration between Pur Südtirol, Silvia Gasser, blogger and nutritional coach, and Molino Merano. Organic, vegan and sustainable, thanks to the recyclable paper packaging: Silvis "Feel Good" Pizza Blend it is perfect for preparing pizzas and focaccias… but that's not all.
And the filling? I wanted to give a twist of flavor and spiciness with the chilli mustard from Seibstock Manufactory, a sweet and spicy sauce made with red peppers and chilli cream, produced by hand in limited quantities with fresh Italian products.
But you can experiment with sauces, mousses and creams following your creativity (for example with one mortadella mousse you hate cotechino or simple goat cheese).

ingredients for 18/20 kisses
WHAT
FOR THE DOUGH
- 200 g of Molino Merano “feel good” flour blend
- 80 g of Parmesan cheese
- 50 g of butter
- Salt and Pepper To Taste
FOR FILLING
- a few teaspoons of Seibstock chilli mustard
HOW TO PREPARE SALTED BACI DI DAMA
In a mixer I poured the flour, the cold butter cut into cubes, a pinch of salt and pepper. I blended until a sandy mixture was obtained, then I added the Parmesan cheese and a couple of tablespoons of very cold water. I blended again for a few seconds, so as not to overheat the dough.
I transferred the mixture onto a pastry board and divided it into balls, for a total of about 36/40.
I placed each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them at least 2 cm from each other. In a hot static oven, 180 °, I cooked for 25 minutes, on the lowest shelf.
Once lightly browned, I let them cool on a wire rack.
I spread a layer of mustard on the flat side of half of the balls, closing each half with a smooth one, creating the typical shape of a lady's kiss.
