welcome friends welcome back to the
kitchen it is April 2020 and the world
is in a little bit of disarray and a
couple of weeks ago we showed you how to
make pasta at home using flour and eggs
and a little bit of oil but a lot of
people said to us that not only can they
not get flour where they live which has
been a bit of a problem here they can't
get eggs so in my last trip of the
grocery store
I looked in the baking aisle and I
realized durum semolina nobody had
bought any of the durum semolina and
durum wheat durum is a type of wheat and
semolina is the way that the wheat is
cracked open or ground so durum semolina
is used in dry pasta so if you've ever
bought macaroni in a bag or spaghetti in
a bag it was probably made with durum
semolina and one other ingredient which
is water so this isn't a pasta that I

English: 
normally make but it is it is a great
pasta and it is something that you can
easily do at home with an ingredient
that will be available probably at your
grocery store because nobody else knows
what to do with it so the recipe is
super simple durum semolina water and so
the way I learned to do this was by
weight you take the weight of the
semolina and then you add 60% of that
weight in water so if you had a kilo of
durum semolina you would add 600 grams
of water and for our non-metric friends
a kilogram is a thousand grams and 600
grams of water is 600 milliliters of
water what I've done today is 500 grams
of semolina and 300 grams of water and
you just stir it together until it's all
wet and then pour it out onto your
countertop and you bring it together and
knead it until it's smooth and elastic

English: 
so I'm gonna need this for about ten
minutes the same way that I would need
bread turn it fold it push it out turn
it fold it push it out and if you find
that it's sticking to your countertop
just add in a little bit more semolina
tiny a little bit at a time you don't
want to add too much because you don't
want it to get too dry it's not hard it
just takes a little bit of time so push
turn fold push so I think that looks
great I think we're right where we need
to be now I'm just going to wrap this up
and let it rest
okay so we've come to the point in the
video where you need to shape the pasta
I have spent hours with people who have
worked really hard to show me how to
roll it out into little ropes and then
cut it into little pillow shapes and

English: 
then use your thumb or the back of a
knife I just can't make it work I don't
I don't know what my problem is
maybe a lack of patience and it's not
something that I grew up watching people
do so I'm just going to put it through a
pasta roller and cut it into I don't
know if I'm going to do spaghetti or
fettuccine so it's just a matter of
rolling it through a few times to get a
nice long sheet and if it's too sticky
put a little bit more flour on it
okay so I took this to number five on
the roller and I don't think I'm gonna

English: 
go any thinner so now this has a cutter
attachment I hardly ever use this
machine so excuse me while I screw it up
okay let's see not so bad
it seems to be working okay so once you
get the noodles I put them a little bit
more semolina on them so that they don't
stick now this is the type of pasta that
you can dry so you're gonna make a mess
in your kitchen there's no other there's
no there's no way around it you are
going to make a mess in your kitchen so
I've got a rack set up and you just lay
them over the top of the rack like this
sort of spread them out a bit so that
they don't stick and you just let them
dry and this could take two or three
days so make sure you hang it somewhere

English: 
that you can leave it I know some people
who in the summertime here in Toronto
will hang this outside for a couple of
days depending on your comfort level
where you live that's up to you but once
it's dry you can just put it into a bag
and store it the same as you would store
store-bought pasta it is that simple so
if you want to learn how to make all
those really cool shapes I would check
out pasta granny's they have a great
channel they do a lot of incredible food
they are going to show you the
traditional ways to make the shapes and
they're gonna make it look annoyingly
simple so if you if you can't find
regular all-purpose or bread flour at
your grocery store you're probably going
to find semolina and this is a great
pasta and it's one that stores easily so
