Orecchiette Made From Eggless Pasta

Directions

Place both types of flour in a large mixing bowl and stir to mix well.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add water a little at a time, stirring with your hands until a dough is formed.

You may need more or less water, depending on the humidity in your kitchen.

Place the dough on a floured work surface and knead it like bread for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Cover and let stand for 10 minutes at room temperature.

Roll dough into long dowels about 3-4-inches thick.

Cut into flat disks about ¼ inch to ½-inch thick.

Press center of each disk with thumb to form saucer-shaped pasta and set aside until ready to cook.
