Notes

if using wholemeal or buckwheat flour use 7 eggs for 600g flour

using the pasta machine roll through on the widest roller setting first, fold it into thirds and roll through again (repeat several times) until you have a rectangle of dough the same width as the pasta machine with no tears or sticky bits before reducing the width of the rollers

if it is sticking or tearing add more flour

dust with flour regularly when rolling to avoid sticking
