Kitchenaid Wholemeal Flour Pasta Dough Recipe

.Reading time 1 minute.

Serves: 4 – 6

The result was a disaster when I first attempted wholemeal flour using my tried-and-true pasta dough recipe.

It didn’t bind. A crumbly mess.

Essentially, you can’t substitute wholemeal flour for 00 flour. The texture just doesn’t hold together.

In comes Nat of course and here you have the perfect recipe for wholemeal pasta dough.

I’ve written the recipe for the Kitchenaid and its dough hook. Kneading by hand will yield the same result of course.

Ingredients

1 3/4 c wholemeal flour
1/2 tsp sea salt
3 large eggs
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

  1. Place the flour in the bowl of the Kitchenaid. Make a well and add the eggs, salt and olive oil.
  2. Using the dough hook, knead until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky. Don’t over-knead as it will become stiff.
  3. Roll into a ball, cover tightly in cling wrap and set aside for 30 minutes.
  4. You must run it through the thickest roller on your pasta maker a few times when it comes to rolling: the texture of the flour just needs that extra work. Roll, fold on itself, roll again and repeat until you have a pliable dough.
  5. From here, roll to the point of thickness you desire and go from there.

Just don’t lose faith. It needs 8 – 10 minutes of kneading in the machine, though at that point, you’ll have a ball of delicious pasta dough, ready for resting, rolling and cooking.

Ingredients

2 c 00 flour
3 large eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Method

  1. Place the flour in the mixing bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the eggs, salt and olive oil into the well and use a fork to gently break up the eggs.
  2. Knead the dough on a low setting for 8 – 10 minutes, ensuring all of the flour is pushed off the walls of the bowl. Once the dough is smooth, roll into a ball. If the dought is too dry, ad a few sprinkles of water. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  3. Roll and do whatever pasta you’re planning!
