Setting up the pasta dryer
Preparing dough
Basic recipe for six people:
500 g of flour (or 250 g of plain flour and 250 g of durum wheat flour)
5 eggs
1 pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of olive or sunflower oil (optional)
1-2 tablespoons of water
1. Pour the flour into a bowl and make a well in the centre.
2. Put the eggs in the well and mix the ingredients with a fork.
3. Knead the dough thoroughly with both hands until smooth.
4. Ideally, put the freshly-made pasta dough in a cool place for at least an hour.
Pay attention to the following:
Pasta dough can also be prepared without eggs. In this case, use approx. 180 to
200 ml of water and add 2 teaspoons of olive or sunflower oil.
It is recommended to avoid using eggs straight from the fridge.
If the dough is too dry, add a small amount of water to make it smoother. If the
dough is too soft, add a little flour to it. The consistency of the dough is optimal if
it doesn't stick to your hands.
