Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly milled sifted Einkorn Flour or All-Purpose Flour
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 tbsp Sourdough Starter or Discard
Instructions
- Add the flour and make a well in the center on a prepared work surface.
- Crack the egg into the center of the well and add the sourdough starter or discard.
- Whisk the egg and starter together with a fork or your clean hand until they are combined.
- Begin to incorporate the flour into the egg mixture, starting with the inside rim of the well and working your way outward.
- Once the dough has come together, turn it onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a damp towel and rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Once the dough has rested, divide it into four equal pieces.
- Use a rolling pin or pasta machine to roll the dough into your desired shape and thickness, working with one piece at a time.
- Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta for 2-3 minutes until al dente. Alternatively, dry the pasta on a pasta drying rack or a wire cooling rack and cook at a later date.
- Drain the pasta and serve with your favorite sauce.
- Enjoy your homemade pasta!
Notes
- Use a kitchen scale to measure the ingredients accurately.
- Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- Sprinkle flour on the work surface to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Roll the dough out thinly for a tender pasta.
- Cut the pasta into your desired shape using a pasta cutter or knife.
- Allow the pasta to dry for at least an hour before cooking.
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water for 2-3 minutes or until al dente.
- Reserve some pasta water before draining, as it can thicken sauces.
- Toss the cooked pasta with your favorite sauce and toppings.
- Enjoy your homemade sourdough einkorn pasta!
