2. Then gradually sift in the flour. Don't add it all at once, because depending on the type, you may need more or less flour. Stir the dough first with a spoon, then knead for a few minutes with your hands. Be guided by the consistency of the dough, it should be tender, soft, plastic and slightly stick to your hands.

3. Sprinkle the surface with flour, put half of the mass and form a long thin sausage, cut into small pieces.
