Fresh Milled Flour Pasta Dough brings a wholesome, rich flavor to homemade pasta. Made with freshly milled flour, this dough is easy to work with and perfect for creating delicious, tender pasta in any shape.
Mill your grain. Add the flour to a bowl or mixer bowl. Make a well in the flour and crack your eggs in the center. Add in your salt and 1 Tablespoon of your water.
Mix in mixer or by hand. Add 1 Tablespoon of water as needed, just until there is no dry flour. See video below for demonstration.
Remove the dough from the bowl and knead by hand for 5-10 min.
Rest for at least 30 min in plastic wrap, a plastic bag, or an airtight bowl. You can allow the dough to rest for up to 4 hours on the counter and up to 4 days in the fridge.
After it’s done resting, cut the dough in 4ths. Smaller portions will be easier to work with.
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough flat enough to fit through your pasta attachment. Lightly flour your dough.
Put pasta through pasta sheet roller on settings 1-3. Then lightly flour your pasta sheet again and change to the 4 setting and run it through the noodle setting. Twirl your pasta into a pasta nest and flour your spaghetti pasta so it doesn’t stick while it’s resting. Repeat with remaining dough.
Boil a large pot of water. Boil the spaghetti for 2-3 minutes and then strain it. I like to rinse my pasta with cold water to stop the cooking and prevent it from getting mushy, but this is optional. Return your pasta to your pot or a bowl and use as desired. Enjoy!
