Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 large (150g) eggs
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon (3g) fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) warm water
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) semolina flour

Instructions:

  1. Add the eggs, olive oil, and salt to the bread machine pan.
  2. Add the 2 cups (250g) of all-purpose flour on top of the liquids to prevent clumping.
  3. Select the 'Dough' cycle and start the machine.
  4. About 5 minutes into the cycle, open the lid to check the consistency; if the dough looks crumbly or shaggy, add warm water one tablespoon at a time until the mass forms a smooth, cohesive ball that clears the sides of the pan.
  5. Allow the machine to complete the kneading cycle.
  6. Remove the dough from the pan and shape it into a neat ball.
  7. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to relax the gluten.
  8. Divide the rested dough into four equal portions.
  9. Dust a work surface with 2 tablespoons (15g) of semolina flour to prevent sticking.
  10. Roll each portion into a thin sheet using a rolling pin or a pasta machine.
  11. Cut the sheets into your desired shape, such as fettuccine, pappardelle, or lasagna sheets.
