Steps

1

Soak the raisins in a glass of water for 15 minutes to rehydrate them. Before using, drain and squeeze them well.
2

Sift the chestnut flour into a bowl. Gradually add water and start mixing (a silicone spatula works well) until you get a creamy batter that isn’t too runny. Add the water slowly so you can control the consistency.
3

Add the pine nuts, walnuts, rosemary, and raisins. Mix all the ingredients well.
4

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while stirring the batter until you reach your preferred consistency.
5

Grease a baking dish well (I like to use a 9–10 inch pizza pan), pour in the batter, and spread it evenly to the edges. Sprinkle extra pine nuts, walnuts, rosemary, and raisins on top.
6

Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 25 minutes. The castagnaccio is ready when the surface turns dark and cracks begin to form.
