  • Place the bamboo stripe on a 45 degree angle on top of the bamboo skewer
  • Wrap the tip of the dough around the skewer. Slowley coil it around the skewer, then using your palm roll the skewer back to you.
  • Once the dough looks like a spiral, slip the busiate off the skewer.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
    Put your finished busiate on a baking tray dusted with flour.
  • You can let them dry overnight and then store them in a airtight bag for a few weeks or you can cook them right away.
