Homemade Whole Wheat Pasta Recipe
Description
The Homemade Whole Wheat Pasta Recipe uses equal parts whole wheat and all-purpose flour combined with four large room-temperature eggs. The method involves creating a flour mound with a well, incorporating eggs gradually, and kneading the mixture into a smooth dough. Resting the dough for at least 30 minutes lets the gluten relax, making it easier to roll out. This pasta has a slightly denser texture and nuttier flavor compared to all-purpose dough alone, providing a wholesome base for many dishes. The recipe notes advise large eggs for proper moisture and suggest that a little water can be added if the dough seems dry. After resting, the dough is ready to shape into noodles or other pasta types.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (71/2oz/213g) whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 cups ( 71/2oz/213g) all-purpose flour
- 4 egg room temperature, large
Notes
- Use 4 large eggs to ensure the dough has enough moisture; 5 small eggs can be substituted if needed.
