Recipe ~ Sète's Zézettes ☀️

Published on 30/04/2026

This year, we're reinventing our shop... again! And among other new items, jars of biscuits lovingly made in our ovens! 🍪 We're starting with the iconic and traditional Zézettes de Sète, made with local rosé and vanilla sugar ✨

The Zezettes of Sète

It's a specialty from Sète, created by Gaston Bentata in 1997 in his artisanal and family-run biscuit factory The Belle Époque, based in Frontignan.

 

Ingredients

1 glass of sugar

1 glass of peanut oil

1 glass of rosé wine (white wine can be used)

1 sachet of vanilla sugar

1 sachet of baking powder

6 to 7 glasses of flour

 

Preparation

Mix together the oil, wine, sugar, vanilla sugar and yeast

Gradually incorporate the flour to obtain a smooth dough.

Preheat the oven to 180°C

Flour your work surface and form rolls about 15 cm long* and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Make a cut in the middle

Roll in sugar and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

Enjoy

 

 

The advantages of DLP

They're also excellent with wholemeal flour – but they won't be the zézettes of Sète anymore!

Delicious with a good coffee or a glass of white wine.

Keeps well in a box – 15 days or more if you can resist!
