Place onto dry surface and knead the dough for 10 minutes, making sure you’re stretching as you go. Wrap in cling film and let rest for thirty minutes.

  2. Cut a piece of dough off and roll into long thin pieces before cutting and thumb length. Using a thin point, roll your busiate out culling it around the cylinder shape of the instrument. This will take some time to master, and refer to reel for reference.
