📝 Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour (preferably “00” flour)
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– Water, as needed
👩🏼🍳 Instructions:
1. In the stand mixer bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
2. Attach the dough hook and add 2 large eggs to the flour mixture.
3. Mix on low speed (Speed 2) until eggs are fully incorporated and mixture forms a shaggy dough (about 2 minutes).
4. Increase speed to medium-low (Speed 3) and knead for 5-7 minutes, until dough becomes smooth and elastic.
5. Remove dough from mixer bowl, shape into a ball, and wrap in plastic wrap.
6. Let rest for 30 minutes.
7. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces.
8. Roll out each piece into a thin sheet (about 1/16 inch thick).
