Workflow
- Add flour, semolina, and salt to food processor.
- Combine eggs and yolks and add to processor.
- Pulse until mixture forms coarse crumbs.
- Crumb hydration rest (pasta shop trick)
- Dump crumbs onto counter.
- Let rest 10 minutes before kneading.
- The crumbs will hydrate and compress into dough.
- Knead until smooth (2–3 minutes).
- Wrap dough and rest 45–60 minutes.
- Lamination (pasta shop trick)
- Cut dough into 100–120 g pieces.
- Roll through KitchenAid roller at setting 1.
- Fold into thirds like a letter.
- Rotate 90 degrees.
- Roll again at setting 1.
- Repeat 3–4 times.
