Semolina pasta dough

Step 1

Make sure you check out all the photos above to see the process!

Step 2

Pour your flour out onto your bench and use the bottom of a bowl to make a well in the middle. Pour the water into the middle then use a fork to start whisking, slowly and carefully incorporating the flour into the middle.

Step 3

When the centre liquid gets really thick, abandon the fork and go straight in with your hands or alternatively use a bench scraper to start mixing it all together until you end up with an even shaggy mixture.

Step 4

You can also bring it together in a bowl if you want an easier clean up!

Step 5

Bring it together into a ball and start to knead, this will be messy but it will come together I promise!

Step 6

Knead quite vigorously for a few minutes until it comes together and has a dimpled texture. Wrap tightly and leave for 10 mins.

Step 7

After 10 mins knead again for 3 - 4 mins until you get a really smooth ball of dough. Wrap again and rest at room temperature for at least 30 mins but preferably an hour or up to three.
