Spelt flour is a nutritious substitute.

Add the dough hook to the KitchenAid stand mixer.

Add 1 cup of extra fine double zero flour to the mixer, making a well in the center.

Add 2 whole large eggs into the well of the flour.

Add 0.5 teaspoon of fine sea salt to the eggs.

Lock the KitchenAid mixer in place.

Start the mixer on level one speed to mix the eggs and salt.

Help the flour from the sides of the bowl into the center while the mixer is running.

Once the egg mixture is thick, continue to help the flour combine into the mixture.

If the dough is sticky, add more flour a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.

If too dry, add a little water or olive oil, a little at a time.

Knead the dough in the mixer until it is smooth and bouncy, about one minute more.

Remove the dough from the mixer and shape it into a dough ball using the kneading method: push the dough through with the heel of your palm and rotate it 90° each time.

Cover the dough and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
