Ingredients
- 100g de High-quality all-purpose flour (e.g., King Arthur)
- 1count de Egg
- Water opcional
- pinches de Flour (for dusting) opcional
Instructions
Form a 'volcano' with the all-purpose flour of your choice on your countertop.
Dica: Use an extremely high-quality flour, such as a premium brand.
In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk the eggs for a few minutes to incorporate air bubbles and begin a pre-emulsification.
Dica: Beating the eggs well is crucial for the final texture of the dough.
Gradually add the beaten eggs to the center of the flour volcano, continuing to whisk, until the mixture becomes pasty.
Use a spatula to help with the initial mixing, turning the aggregate into a coarse crumb (like wet sand).
Dica: Starting with the 'open' mound of flour makes achieving the correct hydration easier.
Adjust the dough consistency: if it is too dry, add a little water; if it is too hard, sprinkle with flour.
Dica: Always maintain the same area of the dough in contact with the countertop during kneading.
Knead the dough by pressing with your knuckles and pulling with your fingers for several minutes.
Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax and redistribute.
Dica: This resting period ensures the dough will be more pliable and easier to digest.
Roll out the dough using a rolling pin or a pasta machine, then cut into your desired noodle shape.
Dica: The final result is a pasta that won't become mushy after cooking.
