...Chahira, Sito used to make something like this and if I'm not mistaken she first formed balls then rolled them to the correct thickness and cut strips that were then rolled up, once rolled a sharp blade was used to cut and form the part that bakes smooth but she kept her hand wet and pulled the cut edges back.

Maybe it would work if you started with an oval. Then take a sharp knife and cut lenghtwise slices leaving them connected on one end. Finally, roll up the slices to get that shape. I can picture it in my head, but that's the best explanation I can come up with.

If you figure it out, please post pictures of the technique. Those are beautiful rolls. Are they meant to look like a squid?

Thank you javaguy, I will try also your idea, if I will figure it out , I will share of course the technique's pics with you.

Those are really very well shaped, other bakers on this site try also to figure it , and one of us will reach it soon.

Thank you so much!

Happy new year for all of you!

Dear saintdennis,

Thank you for your nice words ,

but which "web pages" do you mean, you mean my blog or the site from where i brought to you this picture.

Talking about this problem , I had the same last month, and with several sites , blogs and sites , i asked , some told me that may be there is a virus on my pc, i checked it several times but it was definitily clean , and the problem ends by itself , till now we could not find a logicaly reason.

Anyway , I will try to put some of these recipies as much as I can, just stay tuned , and if you really want a special pastries that you tried before and really liked it do not hesitate and tell me , i will write the recipe for you with pleasure.

Thank you , and happy new year to you and to your family.

Hello saintdennis, Ozzo .com is the server where I downloaded the pics on it , nothing on it , just a server, lakii.com is an arabic site , so if you can not read arabic , it is not useful , but i have an english blog , may be it will be interesting to you

Makes me think that after they were cut, they might have been dropped into a poaching bath like bagels and then baked.  They sure are pretty!
