Basic Pasta Dough

Ingredients

• 420g all-purpose flour, sifted
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tbsp water
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Break eggs into a glass measuring cup. Check to see that the eggs measure 7/8 cup (207 mL). If less than 7/8 cup (207 mL), add water, 1 tsp (2 mL) at a time, until measurement is reached.
2. Place flour and salt in Stand Mixer bowl. Attach bowl and flat beater. Turn to Speed 2 and gradually add eggs and 1 tbs (15 mL) water. Mix for 30 seconds. Stop the Stand Mixer and exchange the flat beater for the dough hook. Turn to Speed 2 and knead for 2 minutes.
3. Let dough rest for 20 minutes.
4. Remove mixture from bowl and place on a clean surface.
5. Dough may appear crumbly. Hand knead for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until dough is smooth, pliable and holds together in a ball.
