Directions

  1. Combine all the dry ingredients, except for the flour. ≈ 3 min
  2. Add the oil paint and mix it. ≈ 3 min
  3. Gradually add the flour until you have a dough that is not sticky. ≈ 3 min
  4. It’s important not to add too much flour. ≈ 3 min
  5. Let the dough rest in a warm place until it has doubled in size.
  6. Now, the dough is ready. ≈ 3 min
  7. Make small dough balls, about the size of an orange. Roll them into balls and then flatten them with a rolling pin. ≈ 10 min
  8. We cut them into the desired shape and decorate them with molds. ≈ 2 min

  12. Once the bread is golden brown, check it to ensure it is cooked through. ≈ 3 min
