Shape the dough like a ball and put it on a baking sheet with baking paper.
To give this cake its traditional shape squeeze it, it should be about 3.5 cm high, and make a triangle with a knife on the top. Bake in preheated oven for about 50 minutes at 180 °C. Leave it to cool properly, in this way it won’t break.
