• Knead everything together until you obtain a thin and elastic dough. Do not knead the fruit and raisins previously soaked in liquor, because they should be added at the end.

• Once you obtain a thin and elastic dough, let stand sheltered from the air.
• Divide into 400 g pieces and form balls.
• For individual moulds, use the manual divider to obtain 30 portions.
