Semolina Pasta dough recipe

Semolina gives pasta a leathery consistency. Its coarseness makes the dough tough. Therefore mixing it with a little flour makes the dough soft and manageable.

The ingredients of the pasta dough include:

• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp salt
• 1tsp olive oil
• 1.5 cups of all purpose flour
• ¼ cup semolina

The preparation begins by adding nicely beaten eggs, salt and oil to the semolina and flour mixture. Once the ingredients are mixed well it is time to knead the dough. Water can be added in the kneading stage to prevent it from sticking. Kneading forms a very important part of the dough making process. It makes the dough tender. The process of kneading uses the heel of the palm and knuckles.  After kneading, the dough is covered and rested for an hour. The dough is then passed through the pasta maker machine.

• 1 3/4th cups of all purpose flour
• 3 eggs
• 1tsp olive oil
• I tsp salt

The preparation begins by adding eggs, olive oil and salt to the flour. The ingredients should be mixed well. This is followed by diligent kneading. Water can be added at this stage to prevent it from sticking. After setting aside the dough for an hour it is then passed through the pasta maker machine.
