farina setacciata

[davide06]

Hi,
concerning a recipe, I need to translate the following phrase into English.

"Poco alla volta aggiungere la farina, meglio se setacciata, continuando a mescolare per evitare il formarsi di grumi nell'impasto"

My attempt:

"Little by little add the flour, better if sieved, while keeping on to mix in order to avoid the lumps development in the dough".

Thanks in advance
Davide

I'd say, "preferably sieved".

I'd also make a couple of other adjustments:

"Add the flour, preferably sieved first, a little at a time, stirring continuously to prevent lumps forming in the dough."

In AE, we say "sifted" rather than "sieved".
