Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 6 to 8 min or possibly till the dough is smooth and satiny and springs back when pressed with a finger.
- HAND MIX METHOD: Place the flour in a mound on a clean work surface. Form a well in the center and break the Large eggs into the well. Mix the Large eggs with a fork.
- Pulling from the sides of the well, gradually incorporate the flour into the Large eggs. Continue to mix till the dough forms a ball, adding drops of water as necessary. Begin kneading the dough, pushing the dough with the heel of your hand. Knead till soft and satiny. Most important, the dough should spring back when poked with your finger. This will take 10 to 15 min of continuous kneading.
