Italian homemade ravioli dough recipe

Ingredients

  • 500 grams Flour
  • 4 Egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Olive oil
  • 1 litre Water

   

Preparación

  • Put the flour in the shape of a volcano on the table where you are going to work. Make a hole in the center and add salt, egg yolks, oil and 4 tablespoons of water.
  • Mix with all the ingredients and knead until an elastic dough is obtained. Add a little water if you feel very dry. Knead a minimum of 10 minutes until the dough is consistent and does not stick to your fingers.
  • Place in a covered bowl and let stand for 20 minutes.
  • Stretch the dough with a roller, to obtain a very fine dough, this is ideal for the texture of ravioli.
  • You are going to make two sheets: one you are going to place the piles of the filling, and the other you are going to be to place on top.
  • Gently press your fingers around the filling and cut with a pizza wheel or knife.
  • To finish, press the ends of the ravioli again with a fork or ravioli sealer, sprinkle a little wheat flour to avoid on top and keep in the fridge or refrigerated, remember that the cooking must be al dente.

Notes

Cookware to make Raviolis

With the exception of the roller, it is not necessary to have all these utensils for the elaboration of ravioli at home, although it becomes much more practical if you have them.

Ravioli tray

It is not the most practical but if it is very low cost, you get many shapes for ravioli with these molds from the traditional "square" to triangular or crescents The tray has holes to fill, and with the other side you make the cut of ravioli. You can find various types of sizes for 12, 18, 24 and up to 36 ravioli.

Ravioli Roller

A very particular utensil, traditional and practical to use, is very low cost although it is not common to see them in stores, is perhaps the most "artisan".

Ravioli Machine

It is literally a homemade machine, works perfectly, is very comfortable to use and has a good price for great use, you can also use it to make spaghetti tagliatelle, stretch the dough and so on. This type of ravioli machines are manual, but they have an electrical accessory that makes them automatic.

Ravioli cutters

They are very common to find and a very traditional hand tool, economical and you can also find many types of cutters for different shapes, for small quantities goes very well.
