Semolina Discs Dessert


  1. Prepare the Syrup:
    Begin by preparing the syrup. Place the sugar and water in a pot and bring them to a boil. Once boiling, add the lemon juice or citric acid. Let the syrup boil for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the heat and set aside.

  2. Prepare the Dough:
    In a large, deep bowl, mix the yogurt, vegetable oil, egg, sugar, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined. Add the salt, coarse semolina, and baking powder, then gradually sift in the flour. Knead the mixture until it forms a cohesive and smooth dough.

  3. Shape the Dough:
    Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each piece into a long strip using a rolling pin, without flattening it too much. Measure two fingers’ width and cut the strips into equal pieces. Dip each side of the dough pieces in semolina and place them on a baking tray that has been greased and dusted with flour to prevent sticking.

  4. Bake the Discs:
    Preheat the oven thoroughly, then place the tray inside. Bake until the discs turn golden brown and emit a pleasant aroma.

  5. Serve:
    Once baked, remove the discs from the oven and place them on a flat serving plate. Generously pour the syrup over the discs and let it soak in.

Now you can enjoy the delightful taste of Semolina Discs! We hope you try it and love it. Bon appétit!
