Mix by wooden spoon or by hand until a compact dough is obtained, approximately 8-10 minutes. Dust with flour, cover it and let it rise for half an hour, until it obtains twice the volume.
● Carefully spread the dough on a floured board, should be approximately 3-4 cm (the thicker the dough, the higher the buns will be). Cut a bun out of the dough with a round mold or a glass with a floured edge (diameter 6.5 cm). Combine the cuttings in the end and again repeat the procedure until all the dough is used.
● Bring 1.5 l of water to a boil in a narrower and higher pot. Add 80 g of baking soda and gradually boil all the buns in water. Cook each for only about 20 seconds and don’ t forget to flip it.
