[Sca-cooks] pan forte / pan pepato sort of recipe 1564

[otsisto]

It's the best I can do since I can not translate myself. I do not expect it to accurately translate but I use it to get a quick and very rough translation to see if it is what I am looking for. 
And I can get a better gist of the recipe with the quick translation. You can make a paste with apples, flour and water, a lumpy paste but a paste none the less. :)
As was mentioned by someone, there is leavening in it and that also registered in my mind that it was not what I have come to understand panforte to be.

There is logic to my madness.

You are making an unwarranted assumption, that online translation programs can handle non-standard spelling.  The standard spellings used by the translation programs did not exist until some time in the 18th Century or later.  Modernly "mele" is "apple" and "mel" means "honey," but 16th Century and earlier spellings are flexible.  While I am definitely not proficient in Italian, I can grasp it well enought to understand that this section of the recipe is calling for the making of a paste using flour and water and honey (a far more reasonable combination than flour, water and apples). 
Hopefully, someone with a better grasp of the language will provide a 
translation.
