Ingredients

– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 eggs
– 2 teaspoons olive oil
– 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Place the flour in a large bowl and make a well in the center.
2. Crack the eggs into the well and add the olive oil and salt.
3. With a fork, gently beat the eggs until they are lightly scrambled.
4. Begin to incorporate the flour into the egg mixture, starting with the inner rim of the well, until the dough begins to come together.
3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. You may need to add a little more flour if it is too sticky.
