3. Work everything and when you have obtained a soft moldable dough, wrap it in cling film and let it rest in the refrigerator for thirty minutes / an hour.
4. After the necessary time, with a rolling pin roll out the dough on a surface and start making your ghostly shapes: pumpkins, men, bats, fingers … free your imagination!
