FRESH HOMEMADE P TE
Serves : 6
Preparation time : 50 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 500 g (17 oz) flour
- 4 whole eggs
- 60 ml (4 tablespoons) olive oil
- 60 ml (4 tbsp) water
- 2 pinches salt, to taste
METHOD
- Place the flour, eggs, olive oil, water and salt on the work surface or in a bowl and mix with a fork.
- Once the flour has absorbed the mixture, work the dough by hand for 3-4 minutes until compact, smooth and elastic (add water if dry, or flour if too sticky).
- Divide the ball into 3 pieces.
- If using the rolling pin
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the 3 balls of dough beforehand, then pass each piece of dough a 1st time between the rollers spaced as far apart as possible, then pass them a 2nd time with the rollers tighter together, etc... 5 to 6 times in all, to obtain a thin strip of dough (you should be able to see your hand through it).
Without a rolling pin :
Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough as thinly as possible.
NB: It's very important to lightly flour the dough each time it passes through the rolling pin, so that it doesn't stick.
NB: To color the dough, simply replace the water in step 1 with beet or spinach juice, depending on the desired color.
