Mlinci

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

2 . Stage

Place 2 cups flour into a large bowl. Add egg and mix. Gradually add water and mix until a dough is formed. The dough should not be sticky at this point. If it is, add slightly more flour.

3 . Stage

Knead on a lightly floured surface, dusting with flour as required, until no stickiness is felt. Let stand for about 1 hour. This makes the dough easier to roll out.

4 . Stage

Roll out using a rolling pin until dough is equivalent to the thickness of a lasagna noodle. Cut dough into a rectangle that would fit on the prepared cookie sheet; transfer to the sheet.

5 . Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until pasta has dried and turned a light tan color, 7 to 10 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove from the oven; don't worry if there are some darker patches. Remove from parchment and leave to cool. Take the large sheets and break into pieces randomly that are the size of a deck of cards approximately.

6 . Stage

To use, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Remove from heat; add mlinci and garlic. Soak until pasta is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain.
