Add milk, baking powder and lemon zest, then knead until the mixture is soft and elastic.
Transfer the dough on a floured work surface giving it the shape you want. Take the rest of beaten egg and brush the cuzzupe.
Bake in a static oven preheated to 180° for about 20-25 minutes, take out of the oven and leave to cool the cuzzupe. If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar to taste.
