Fresh Pasta Dough

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the flour and salt on a work surface or in a bowl. Form a well at the centre.

2. 2

   Pour the egg yolks, whole egg, oil and water into the well. Using a fork, lightly beat the eggs and liquid while gradually incorporating the flour. Once the dough becomes too thick to work with the fork, use your fingertips, then your hands.

3. 3

   Do not use more flour than necessary. There may be a few extra tablespoons leftover, or you may need to add a bit of flour, depending on the moisture content of the flour and the size of the eggs.

4. 4

   Knead the dough for 10 minutes. At this point the dough will become smooth and should no longer be sticky. If it is sticky, add a small amount of flour and continue to knead.

5. 5

   Cover the dough in plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before using.
