Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the salt and flour, then add the water gradually until a soft and elastic dough forms. ≈ 4 min

  6. Cut the dough into strips, fill each with the filling, and roll them up. ≈ 10 min
  7. Place them in a dish, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and drizzle with oil. ≈ 2 min
