Makes: 1-1/2 pounds
Note:
Whole wheat flour alone produces a very sticky dough with a grainy texture.
All-purpose flour needs to be added to provide gluten which creates a smoother dough.
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1-/1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons warm water
Instructions:
This dough is made using the same method as Basic Egg Pasta Dough.
If more flour needs to be added because of sticking, add all-purpose flour.
