Semolina Pasta Dough Recipe

Homemade pasta all starts with the dough. And while you can always buy the dough pre-made, this semolina pasta dough recipe is so easy to make it's worth the experience doing it yourself! I was definitely intimidated at first, but I quickly realized just how simple it is using just a few ingredients.

Large wooden cutting board

Ingredients

4 cup semolina flour
1¼ cup warm water you may use more or less

Instructions

Pour your semolina flour out on your countertop or a large wooden cutting board (or pasta board).
4 cup semolina flour
Put your hand in the middle of the flour, and using a circular motion, start making a "well". Gradually make it larger and larger, but make sure to keep the walls intact.
Slowly pour the warm water into the well a little at a time.
1¼ cup warm water
Start to mix the flour with the water until the dough begins to form. Keep adding water as needed to fully form the dough. If it's too sticky, just add some flour little by little.
Some flour may not stick to the large dough. If this happens, round it all up and just like we did with the original flour, make a well and slowly pour in some warm water. Add it to the larger dough.
Once you have the right consistency, starting kneading. We'll knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes homogeneous where it's soft and you don't feel the flour on the dough. Do this on a wooden board if possible.
Once the dough is finished, roll it into a ball and cover it with a bowl or some plastic wrap. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes before beginning to make your homemade pasta.
