Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with the garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the eggs into the well. Add olive oil and water.
Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs, oil, and water by whisking from the center outward until the mixture becomes too stiff to mix with the fork.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle with a bit more flour as needed.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 20 minutes. Resting allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.
Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin sheet (about 1/8 inch thickness) using a rolling pin or pasta machine.
Cut the rolled dough into desired dumpling shapes such as squares or circles.
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Gently drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface.
Remove the dumplings using a slotted spoon and serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
