Thanks everyone….. I had a wonderful birfty:D

Very tired today……. Elf bought me my pressie today…….

A Pasta Maker:D:D

yes Mrs. Pepe I have one and now to learn how to make pasta:D

1st question….. what is wheat flour????

We touched on it Pepe at your place, but I have had too many sleep since then.

It’s red too….. will that mean I can make pasta faster…LOL

I’m glad you had a good birthday Lucky :)

Is the Bimbo all jetlagged?

Just as there are some flours good for cakes (“weak” flour) and some good for bread (“strong” flour), there is also a type most suitable for pasta. I have noticed at the stupid market in the flour section that there is a brand that sells different types of flours for different purposes, and I am pretty sure I saw one for pasta making. It has something to due with the amount of gluten in it I think.

Thanks Bluegreen:D

She’s at work and wishing she was home….;)

Feeling the cold too, slept under 2 quilts last night. Grandkitty is my little bum buddy while Mum is at work.

Durum flour is used for pasta making. It is considered a very “hard” flour with a high protein content (13%) which corresponds to the gluten levels. I think “hard” is the equivalent of “strong”. Gluten is what makes the dough elastic, eg. the more gluten the more elastic the dough is.

I use ordinary plain flour. 1 egg, 1 cup of flour, 1 tablespoon of oil, and 1 teaspoon of water – I think that’s the proportion of the mix I use. Only made it twice. First time I didn’t have a roller. Nice, but thick. Second time, I had the roller – very nice. Very different to packet stuff which is generally flour and water, and no egg.

a cup and a half of white bread flour (or pasta flour ?) with 2 eggs.
stir VERY well in bowl until it forms a stiff dough.
wrap in cling wrap and rest on bench for 30 mins.
then divvy up into 6 balls and go through the roll out process in the new red machine LOL..

actually when the dough has rested – shape into a loaf – than cut into 1” thick slices, roll with rolling pin until it goes thru’ machine.
