Using the machine
Fix the machine onto the work surface with
the supplied clamp and insert the handle
into the roller hole (Fig 1). Before using
the machine for the first time it must be
cleaned with a dry cloth to remove any dirt.
To clean the rollers, pass a piece of dough
through the machine several times, then
discard the dough.
How to prepare the mixture
The basic recipe per person is approx. 125g
of wheat flour and 1 egg.
Advice: do not use eggs directly from the
fridge!
For 4 persons, this means approx. 500g of
wheat flour and 4 eggs. Water can also be
used in place of eggs. 1 egg = approx. 80ml
of water. Do not add any salt!
1. Pour the flour into a bowl and add
the eggs into the middle of the flour
(Fig 2).
2. Mix the eggs with a fork until they are completely blended with the
flour. Knead the mixture with your hands (Fig 3) until it is completely
homogenous and has an elastic consistency.
3. If the mixture is too dry add some water; if it is too moist or too soft
add some flour. A good mixture should never stick to your fingers.
