Homemade Macaroni

How to prepare homemade macaroni

1. Put the flour in a bowl and make a well in the center. In the well, add the beaten eggs, oil and water. Sprinkle the salt on the edge.
2. Start kneading, slowly incorporating the flour into the liquid in the center. Knead until the dough comes together.
3. Put the dough in a bread machine set to the kneading program (mine takes 13 minutes). At the end you'll get a dough that's not sticky at all and very elastic. The dough is neither too firm nor too soft. Cover the dough with a towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
   * the dough can also be kneaded by hand
4. Cut the dough into smaller pieces. Roll each piece into a log about 1.5cm thick. Then cut the logs into pieces about 1cm long.
6. Take each piece of dough in your hand and flatten it into a rectangle shape. Wrap the rectangle around a wooden skewer.
7. Roll the skewer between your palms until the dough thins out. Don't press too hard when rolling. Remove the skewer from the macaroni. Place the formed macaroni on a clean towel to dry a bit.
8. Cook the macaroni in plenty of salted water.
