Name - Recipe
A fasting dish (soup).
1 kg local flour
salt
water
olive oil
tough bread cut into bite-sized pieces
In a bowl, add the flour and salt and slowly add water and mix the flour with your hands until it forms small balls. It should all come together and there should be a bit of flour left. Then sift it to keep the mixture clean. At the same time, in a pot, boil water with salt and, while it is boiling, add the mixture and stir (because the pasta sticks) until it is cooked. In a frying pan, fry the bread pieces in olive oil and add them into the pot along with some of the oil they were fried in. Remove the pot from the heat, let it sit for a while and enjoy.
