  • Once all the flour has been added and mixed with the fork, you can let it rest for about 5 minutes. This is not always necessary and depends on the type of flour you use.
    After resting you can check the consistency of the dough and determine if it is necessary to add more water or flour.
  • Now proceed to knead until the dough is consistent enough and does not stick to your hands. It should not be too hard, but not too soft either because you will not be able to form the arepas well.
  • To form the arepas, take dough that fits easily in your hand and start forming balls in a circular motion.
    When the ball of dough is well formed, continue making circles with your hands, but press down so that you can flatten the ball to form the arepa.
