Directions

  1. We pour the semolina onto a clean surface and sprinkle it with salt. ≈ 2 min
  2. Add warm water and mix everything together. ≈ 4 min
  3. Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes.
  4. Therefore, it is advisable to let the dough rest for half an hour.
  5. Next, pieces of dough are taken out and transformed into sticks about 30 centimeters long and one finger-width thick, which will then be cut into pieces of a similar size to a fingernail and with identical dimensions. ≈ 3 min
  6. Therefore, you need to flatten the small portion of pasta until it forms a disc-like shape, using a rounded-tip knife. ≈ 4 min
  7. By constantly using the edge of the knife, you slide the disc across the cutting board, applying gentle pressure, which allows the dough to curve towards the edge of the knife. ≈ 8 min
  8. Once the dough is shaped into a curved form and placed on the tip of the finger, it is turned back towards the back using a knife, as if one were trying to cover the fingertip with dough. ≈ 3 min
  9. Next, pressure is applied to the center to achieve the characteristic dome shape. ≈ 3 min
  10. Gently remove the small flower you obtained with your finger, and place it on a clean surface so that it can dry for a few hours, with the bottom facing up. ≈ 3 min
