Semolina Pasta Dough from Scratch

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Semolina Pasta Dough from Scratch.

1. Step 1

   In a large bowl or on a marble work surface, combine the semolina flour and a pinch of salt. Create a well in the center of the mixture.

2. Step 2

   Gradually pour water into the well, mixing it with the flour using your hands or a fork. Add enough water until the mixture forms a sticky but compact dough.

3. Step 3

   Knead the dough by flattening it, stretching it, and folding the top towards the center. Rotate the dough 45 degrees and repeat this process until the dough becomes elastic and smooth, which should take about 10 minutes.

4. Step 4

   Shape the kneaded dough into a ball and place it in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes.

5. Step 5

   After resting, roll out the dough using a pasta machine or a rolling pin, then cut it into your desired pasta shapes.
