Fresh Toasted Fazzoletti
- 3 cups durum wheat flour (see Note), plus more for dusting
- 5 large eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- Spread 1 cup of the flour on a baking sheet and toast for about 30 minutes, stirring once, until fragrant and honey-colored.
- Let the flour cool.
- In a food processor, combine the toasted flour with the remaining 2 cups of flour and pulse.
- With the machine on, add the eggs, milk and salt and blend until the dough comes together; turn out onto a floured work surface and knead 2 or 3 times to form a soft, supple dough.
- Wrap the dough in plastic and let stand at room temperature for 2 hours.
- Cut the dough into 4 pieces.
- Using a pasta machine on the thickest setting, run 1 piece of dough through the machine, dusting with flour.
- Fold the dough in thirds and run it through the machine at the same setting.
- Continue to run the dough on successively thinner settings until you are 1 setting from the thinnest.
- Dust the dough with flour and drape over a floured work surface while you repeat with the remaining dough.
- Cut the pasta into 2-inch squares and dust lightly with flour.
- Let the squares stand at room temperature for 1 hour, tossing occasionally.
