Seadas – Sardinian Cheese And Honey Pastries

Seadas are the most popular traditional Sardinian dessert. The shape of seadas may remind you of ravioli – a fresh pasta filled with other ingredients, but they are bigger and sweet but still with a delicious melted cheese inside. The main ingredients to prepare seadas are: flour, durum wheat flour, lard, fresh cheese that can be sour or mild and either cow or sheep cheese, grated lemon rind and honey or sugar for the topping. Obviously, depending on the area, the recipe varies. The one in this post is a very simplified version of the traditional recipe, which calls for a plain mild cheese, no lard and which is super easy to make at home.
