- The dough is successful if it unsticks from your hands.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- For each melomalarono use 50 g of dough, form a ball and then press it to make an elliptical shape.
- Place the melomakarona on an oiled baking sheet (24 in each sheet) and poke them lengthwise with a fork.
- Place the baking sheet on the second oven rack from the top and bake for 20 minutes. Take care to follow the baking time because the melomakarona can burn easily!
- When you are finished with baking (don't place two baking sheets in the oven at the same time) prepare the syrup using a deep pot
