Homemade Pasta Dough
Description
Think it's too time-consuming to make your own pasta? Think again. Our homemade pasta dough is ready in one hour.
Ingredients:
- 2 3/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher (coarse) salt
Directions:
- Place flour in a mound on clean large work surface. Make a well (hole) in center of flour. Crack eggs into center of well. Sprinkle salt over eggs.
- Using fork, gently break up eggs. With fork, begin to incorporate flour into eggs. Once mixture is somewhat combined, use hands to squeeze and work dough into a ball. (Dough should be tacky but not sticky.)
- Knead pasta dough like bread dough—push down dough with palm of hand, fold dough over itself and repeat—until dough is smooth, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Cover dough with clean kitchen towel. Let rest about 30 minutes.
- Cut dough into 4 equal pieces. Remove 1 piece of dough; cover remaining with towel. Flatten piece of dough with palm of hand. Using rolling pin or pasta machine, roll to about 1/16-inch thickness or to desired thickness. Repeat with remaining pieces of dough.
