Twist the dough from the middle as shown in the picture until you make a circle. Carefully fold the edge and add water to stick well. Use the edge of a plate to cut it to the lengths of 10 centimetres. A plate is better than the knife because it will immediately stick the ends of the štrukli. |

In a medium-sized pan, put the water to boil, and add the štrukli. Add some oil and salt and leave to boil for a few minutes. Be sure to add the salt to the water as it works well for the pasta to have a firmer texture. |
