- Next, make a puddle in the center and pour in the vinegar and crystal sugar and knead by hand or in the mixer with the hook, gradually adding the orange juice and water until it becomes an elastic, smooth dough that does not stick.
- We shape it into a ball, wrap it with cling film and leave it in the fridge for at least 30-60 minutes to rest.
For stuffing
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing all the ingredients with a spoon.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees in the air
- After 30-60 minutes, sprinkle with corn flour on our counter or table, and cut the dough into 4 equal pieces.
- We take a piece and open it with the rolling pin or the machine on a thin, rectangular sheet. (Caution, if the sheet is thick it will not bake well).
- Spread on each sheet with 3 tbsp. a strip of the filling mixture, covering the entire surface.
- Wrap in a roll and then twist, turning its edges in the opposite direction, like a string.
- Put it in a well-oiled pan, starting from the middle and wrapping it outwards to form a snail.
- Continue with the remaining pieces and place them in the pan in such a way as to create a large twist.
- Sprinkle the pie with a little water and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until golden brown.
- Leave to cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
