Instructions:
-
In a large glass bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, white flour, and salt using a wooden spoon. Ensure they are evenly mixed.
-
-
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. This will be where you pour in the wet ingredients.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until they are well combined.
-
Pour the egg mixture into the well you created in the dry ingredients. Use the wooden spoon to gradually incorporate the wet and dry ingredients until a dough begins to form.
-
Once the ingredients are well combined and a dough has formed, transfer it onto a floured board or countertop.
-
Knead the dough on the floured surface for about 20 turns. This helps develop the gluten and ensures a smooth texture.
-
After kneading, wrap the dough in waxed paper and allow it to rest for 30 minutes. This resting period allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll out.
-
After resting, the dough is ready to be shaped. You can either use a manual pasta machine according to its instructions or roll out the dough by hand to your desired thickness and cut it into your desired shape.
-
Cook the pasta in boiling water for about 4 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of tenderness.
-
Once cooked, drain the pasta and serve it with your favorite sauce or toppings.
Enjoy your homemade whole wheat pasta! π΄
