HOW TO PREPARE THE DOUGH
Pour the flour into a bowl, then the eggs and water in the middle (Fig. 2).
Beat the eggs and water with a fork and mix thoroughly with the flour.
Do not add salt!
Knead the dough with your hands (Fig. 3) until it is completely smooth and elastic. If the dough is too dry,
add some water, if it is too soft add some flour.
Remove the dough from the bowl and place it on table lightly dusted with flour (Fig. 4).
Continue, if necessary, to work the dough with your hands and cut it into small pieces (Fig. 5).
ATTENTION
Great dough should never stick to your fingers.
TIP: Do not use cold eggs straight from the refrigerator!
HOW TO MAKE SHEETS OF PASTA AND PASTA WITH AMPIA
Set the machine thickness-adjustment knob on number 0, pulling it outwards and making it turn, so that
the two smooth rollers are fully open (Figure 6). Feed a lump of dough through the rollers, turning the
crank clockwise as indicated by the arrow (Fig. 7). Lightly dust both sides of the sheet of pasta with flour
(Fig. 8) and fold it in half (Fig. 9). Feed the sheet of pasta through the smooth rollers again: repeat these
operations 5-6 times until the sheet of pasta has a long and regular shape (Fig. 10). Cut the sheet of pasta
in two and lightly dust with flour on both sides. Set the thickness-adjustment knob on no. 1 and feed the
sheet of pasta through once without folding it; then set it on no. 2 and feed the sheet of pasta through
once again, then set it on no. 3 and so forth until achieving the desired thickness.
HOW TO PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR USE
Attach the machine to the table with the special clamp and insert the crank into the hole of the smooth
rollers (Fig. 1).
When using the machine for the first time, clean it with a slightly dampened cloth to remove excess
oil. To clean the rollers, feed a small amount of pasta dough through them and then throw it away.
BASIC RECIPE FOR THE DOUGH - Serves 6 people
* 500 g of soft-wheat flour
* 5 whole eggs
To achieve better pasta, for the flour use a mixture of 250 g of
soft-wheat flour and 250 g of durum-wheat flour
(semolina / durum wheat semolina).
100 g of flour will be needed while processing the pasta with the machine.
