Knead a firm dough with the flour, water, and salt.
Cover the dough and rest for 30 minutes.
Roll the dough very thinly and spread soft butter over the surface.
Roll the dough tightly and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Boil the milk, add the semolina, and thicken for 5 minutes.
When the semolina mixture is lukewarm, mix in the ricotta, sugar, egg, orange zest, and vanilla.
Slice the dough roll and open each slice with your fingers into a shell.
Fill the shells and close the openings.
Bake the filled pastries at 200°C for 25 to 28 minutes.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
💡 Tip: Chilling the dough roll well helps the layers open distinctly in the oven.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Dust with powdered sugar and serve at room temperature with plain coffee.
