Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for the dough, or 500 grams)
  • 5 large eggs

Instruction

  • Measure out the 4 cups of flour onto a marble slab or smooth counter-top (you can also use a bowl!)
  • Make a well in the center of the flour, the "fontana"!
  • And crack all 5 eggs into the center of the well.
  • Using your hands (see below if you want to use your mixer) break up the eggs and mix together.
  • Start bringing some of the flour into the egg mixture. Continue incorporating the flour into the eggs until the dough is very stiff, but still workable. You may need to add flour depending on the eggs and the humidity in the air.
  • Knead the dough picking up the stray pieces, until the dough is fairly smooth. About 10 - 15 minutes.
  • Let dough rest for 30 minutes. If the dough is going to rest for more than 30 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap so it doesn't dry out.
