- Mettere la farina di castagne dentro un recipiente dopo averla setacciata. Aggiungere l' acqua poco alla volta ed iniziare ad impastare (ideale con un mestolo in silicone da dolci) fino a che non si ottiene un impasto cremoso ma non troppo liquido (per questo dobbiamo dosare bene l' acqua e non versata tutta insieme).
- Aggiungere i pinoli, le noci, il rosmarino e l' uvetta. Amalgamare bene tutti gli ingredienti.
- Aggiungere l' olio a filo continuando a girare l' impasto fino a che non si ottiene la densità che ci piace.
- Oliare bene una pirofila (Io preferisco usare un disco da pizza di 23/25 cm), versare l' impasto e distribuirlo bene fino ai bordi. Aggiungere sopra altri pinoli, noci, rosmarino e uvetta.
- Mettere in forno a 180 gradi per circa 25 min. Comunque il tutto sarà pronto appena la superficie del castagnaccio diventerà scura e si formeranno delle crepe.
