Homemade Semolina Pasta Dough

1 . Stage

Mix flour and salt in a large bowl or on a marble work surface. Make a well in the center.

2 . Stage

Pour water into the well a little at a time, mixing it with the flour. Add as much water as needed to make a sticky but compact dough.

3 . Stage

Knead dough with your hands by flattening the ball, stretching it, and folding the top towards the center. Turn 45 degrees and repeat until dough is elastic and smooth, but not too soft, about 10 minutes.

4 . Stage

Shape dough into a ball. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.

5 . Stage

Roll out the dough with a pasta machine or with a rolling pin and cut into your favorite shapes.
