Directions

Knead on a lightly floured board, then take small walnut-sized pcs of dough and with your fingers form each into a roll, approximately 3/4-inch in diameter and 6-inch in length. Make into simple knots, plaits or possibly rings and arrange on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with rose-water and sprinkle with caster sugar. Bake near the top of the oven for about 20 min, or possibly till tinged with brown. (Knots and plaits will take longer to bake than simple rings, so do not mix shapes on a baking sheet.) Remove from the oven and cold on a wire rack. Store in an airtight tin.
