Start by making the pastry dough with 2 and 1/3 cups of bread flour, 3/4 cup of durum semolina, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a mixing bowl.

Add 1 cup of warm water all at once and mix on low speed until the dough is rough and dry.

Knead the dough to smooth it out and work the proteins, then divide it into four equal pieces and roll them up.

Chill the dough pieces overnight in the fridge.

After chilling, attach the pasta maker and roll out the dough starting on the widest setting, dusting with flour as needed.

Stretch the dough through the pasta maker until it reaches about 5 feet in length, cutting it in half if necessary.

Prepare a mixture of 1/2 cup of vegetable shortening and 1/2 cup of butter, and spread it evenly over the rolled-out dough.

Roll and stretch the dough again, overlapping the pieces as you go to create layers.

Chill the layered dough again before making the filling.

Heat 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of water in a pot, adding 1/2 cup of sugar to dissolve.

Once simmering, whisk in 2/3 cup of semolina until thickened, then transfer to a bowl.

Mix in 1 pound of creamy ricotta cheese, 2 egg yolks, zest of an orange, 1/2 cup of candied orange peel, and a pinch each of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Cut the chilled dough into 16 pieces, each about half an inch thick.

Press each round of dough out from the center with the heel of your hand to form a cone shape.

Spoon a generous dollop of the ricotta filling into the cone and bring the ends together without sealing.

Place the filled pastries on a tray and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 25 to 30 minutes.

Dust the baked pastries with icing sugar before serving.
