Cover with a cloth and leave to rest for about 3 hours; then add a pinch of salt and work again.
At this point divide into 12 pieces, preheat the oven to 250 c and then bake for 6/7 minutes.
In the meanwhile dissolve the sugar in a little bit of water, remove the maritozzi from the oven and sprinkle with sugar water.
Put back in the warm but just turned-off oven for 10 minutes more, remove, cut each maritozzo in two and then fill with whipped cream! Delicious!
