My Adaptation Of Jamie Olivers Gluten Free Pasta Dough Recipes

JAMIE OLIVER'S PASTA DOUGH

Steps:

• Place the flour on a clean surface.
• Make a well in the centre and add the eggs and yolks.
• Use a fork to break up the eggs, then start bringing in the flour.
• Stir with the fork until you have a dough which is easily workable with your hands.
• Knead well until it becomes smooth, silky and elastic and the surface is clean.
• Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for a while.
• When you are ready to shape the pasta, break the dough into four pieces.
• Take one ball at a time, flatten it with your hand and run it through the thickest setting on your pasta machine.
• Fold in half and repeat this several times.
• Start narrowing down the settings, dusting the dough with flour each time you run it through, stopping when the sheet is 1-2mm thick.
• You can also use a rolling pin but it will take longer than if you have a pasta machine.
• When you have a thin sheet, shape as desired.
• To cook, drop the pasta into boiling water and cook just until al dente-- no more than five minutes and perhaps as little as two minutes, depending on the thickness of the pasta.
• Store any extra in the fridge for up to half a day or you can dry it and store in airtight containers.
