@@LucidProductReviews I made ziti using freshly milled hard white wheat berries. I put them in the water before it was quite boiling, so they collapsed and were flat. They tasted good, tho. Nex t time, I will let them air dry and make sure the water is at a rolling boil. The machine worked perfectly to extrunde them. I'm going to try shells next. My recipe: 400g hard whilte wheat berries, milled fine; 185g filtered water. Combine flour and water thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for at least an hour to let the flour hydrate. The dough should be crumbly, but not dry.
I have made several batches of pasta using FMF, whole grain hard white, hard red, or combo. I find it super easy to clean if I leave the machine and its parts for the next day. The dough dries, shrinks and practically falls off (or out) with little to no effort. If one doesn't use the egg, one can refrigerate or freeze the pasta for latter. Thanks for these tips.
I tried making pasta today without letting it rest since it automatically extrudes the pasta after 3 min. Texture was okay but could have been better. Will try to rest at least 10 minutes next time by pausing the machine. Thanks for the tip!
