• DOUGH CONSISTENCY You know when you’re nished kneading the dough
when the ball of dough has a soft texture. It should feel moist, but not stick to your
ngers.
• LET IT REST! When you have your dough ball, set it aside to rest for 15-30
minutes. While resting, wrap it in cellophane wrap or cover it with a damp towel
(or paper towel) to keep it from drying out. Resting gives the our time to fully
absorb the water.
• WATER If the recipe that you are using calls for water, add it last in portions.
Depending on egg size and accuracy of our measurement, you may not need
the entire amount of water in the recipe.
• FLOUR & WATER RATIO Don’t be afraid to use our. If after resting, the
dough feels too damp add a little our and knead it a little more (don’t worry, if
you add too much you can add more water or olive oil to balance it).
• FLOUR IS YOUR BEST TOOL Before rolling out the dough or cutting the
sheets, sprinkle the rollers with our to keep the dough from sticking. This will
also help the dough separate when you cut the pasta.
• Before cutting the dough and between changing the roller settings, dredge the
dough sheet in some our. This will also help to cut the dough better.
