Making homemade pici is a very rewarding culinary experience that only requires ingredients and a little patience. Here are the steps to follow to prepare pici at home:
1. Preparation of the dough: In a bowl, mix the flour with a pinch of salt and gradually add warm water until a homogeneous dough is obtained. Work the dough energetically until it is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
2. Creation of the pici: Divide the dough into small portions and roll them out with a rolling pin so as to obtain cylinders about 1 cm thick. Cut the cylinders into pieces of about 10-15 cm.
3. Spreading the pici: To spread the pici, take one piece at a time and roll it between your hands, applying light pressure to stretch it until you get a stick about 3-4 mm thick.
4. Drying the pici: After creating the pici, place them on a lightly floured cloth and let them dry for about 1-2 hours.
5. Cooking the pici: Bring plenty of salted water to the boil and cook the pici.
