PREPARATION:
KNEAD
By hand:
-
- Form a well with the flour. Add eggs and oil to the well.
- Scramble the egg mixture with your hands and slowly add the flour until it forms a ball.
- If the ball does not form, add water.
- Knead the dough for about 5 minutes.
- *Dough texture: a little firmer than pizza dough.
In a food processor:
- Add all ingredients and blend for 30 seconds using the steel blade.
- Add water if necessary.
REST
- Wrap the ball of dough in plastic wrap.
- Let rest for 15-20 minutes. (Not required)
*The ball of dough can be prepared the day before
FLATENING
- Cut a slice of dough 0.5 inch thick. Flatten with your hands.
- Place the pasta machine at the first (largest) hole.
- Pass the slice between the rollers.
- Fold the slice and pass again. Repeat this step 4 times (more if necessary) until the slice is smooth.
- Sprinkle the slice with semolina regularly.
- Place the machine at the 5th and 4th hole, repeat the previous steps one more time.
- Holes 3 and 2 will flatten the sheet a lot.
COOKING
