Cannoli Dough
- 1/3 cup dry red wine
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 cups unbleached pastry flour or unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Whisk the wine, olive oil, and vinegar in a medium bowl to combine.
- Put the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a standing mixer and mix at low speed just to combine.
- With the mixer still running, add the wet ingredients, reserving 1 tablespoon, and continue to run the mixer on low speed until the dough comes together.
- Add the reserved liquid if the dough feels hard and dry, otherwise discard it.
- (Alternatively, to make the dough by hand, combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl, and combine the wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
- Turn the dry ingredients out onto your work surface and create a well in the center.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the well and mix with your hands, working from the outside in, to bring the dough together.)
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead it for a few minutes to bring it together.
- Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour and up to a week.
- Adjust a pasta sheeter gauge to the thickest setting (number 8 using a KitchenAid attachment).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and cut two or three more sheets of parchment paper roughly the same size.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and cut it into quarters.
- Dust one segment of the dough lightly with flour and pass it through the pasta sheeter, dusting the dough with flour as it passes through, to create long sheets.
- Adjust the sheeter to the next thinnest setting and pass the dough through again.
- Continue to pass the dough through the sheeter in this way until you have passed it through the thinnest gauge.
- Place the sheeted dough on the prepared baking sheet, dust it with flour, and place another sheet of parchment on top.
- Pass the remaining sheets of dough through the sheeter in the same way, separating each sheet of dough by a sheet of parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together.
