Description of Homemade Pasta Dough
For this recipe you need only 4 ingredients. Flour, eggs, olive oil and salt. Yes, it is that simple.
So, if you think that only chefs can make pasta you are wrong. You can do it. Using your own hands or your best food processor. The choice is yours.

Whisking, kneading and rolling…Are you afraid? Don’t be. I already said this is the recipe for absolute beginners. So, I will hold your hands and show you how. Also, this recipe is using less than 1 cup of flour so you can make mistakes and learn.

Homemade Pasta Dough Without Machine in 6 Minutes
Ingredients
2/3 cup flour
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 tsp olive oil
pinch of sea salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Making pasta using a food processor.
Add flour, eggs, olive oil and salt to the food processor.
Pulse until you see a crumbly texture.
Transfer to a lightly floured cutting board and pat it into a ball. (use your hands)
Then kneed until it is smooth and elastic. (about 3 minutes)
Your next step is to form the dough into a small ball, wrap with plastic wrap and let is rest for 1 hour.
Then use immediately or transfer to the fridge for up to one day.
MAKING PASTA DOUG BY HAND
For this you can use large plate, large cutting board or smooth surface like a marble counter.
Place flour in a mound on a large cutting board.
Create a well in the center and crack 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk.
Sprinkle the salt and add olive oil on top of the eggs.
Use a fork to whisk the eggs gradually drawing in the flour mixture.
Keep going until forms a ragged dough. (This will be quick for you because you are using a very small amount of the flour.)
Then start to knead until it is smooth and elastic. (for about 3 minutes)
If it is sticky add a little flour, if it is dry add a water.
Form the dough into a very small ball and wrap in a plastic wrap.
Let the dough rest for 1 hour at room temperature.
HOW TO ROLL FRESH PASTA BY HAND
After the dough has been resting for 1 hour, transfer the dough to a cutting board.
Dust some flour on top of it and start rolling.
Keep rolling until the dough becomes as thin as paper (about 1 to 2 mm).
If you are still asking how thin think crepes paper thickens or you should be able to see your hand through the dough if you lift it up.
Remember to master any skills you need to practice. So, keep practicing and you will become the pasta expert.
IMPORTANT: Add extra flour to prevent sticking but don’t get crazy. Always add a very small amount of flour.
Let it rest for 15 minutes.
Cutting the Pasta
Your next step is to lightly flour dough circle, roll loosely on rolling pin.
Slide rolling pin our, press dough roll with hand and cut into desired size strips. (use sharp knife).
Carefully unfold strips.

Review the Steps
-You can make homemade pasta dough using food processor or by hand
-If you are using food processor add 4 ingredients, blend and transfer to cutting board. Make the ball and kneed for 3 minutes. Cover in plastic wrap. Store.
-If making pasta by hand create a well in the center and add eggs, salt and oil. Mix all ingredients using a fork and slowly incorporating the flour into it. Kneed until smooth and elastic. Cover and store.
Quick Note
Flour – use all purpose flour or use 00 flour for pasta. You can find “00 flour for pasta” in Superstore or on amazon. Just search for zero zero flour and you will find it. Personally, I love using the 00 flour for this recipe. It makes a texture of the pasta more smooth. However, you can make homemade pasta dough using an unbleached all purpose flour. The texture is chewier.
Homemade pasta-00 flour
Eggs – use large, organic eggs for this recipe.
Salt – please use fine sea salt. You can also skip the salt if you are on diet.
Olive oil – I used organic olive oil.

This cake is from my happy, safe and free childhood. Lamington Australian Coconut Cake or #1 Recipe for my whole life. Yes, this post is so emotional to me. So much memory and so much love for this cake that I can’t express…but I am sure you can feel it. Love is in the air…from Australia or New Zealand.
lamingtons Australian Coconut cake-the best cake
If there is one cake that is number #1 inside of my chocolate soul, it is this one.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen I like you to meet and say hello to the best coconut cake called …
Lamington cake
(don’t mind me. I treat cake as a human being…so saying hello is just normal communication in my life…)
Let me start with this … As a kid I was not able to say Lamington cake so I always called this cake coconut. My mum’s friends used to bring me this cake all the time. And they used to joke that I need to move to Australia or to be shipped there. So, yes since a very young age I knew two things about this cake:
It is from Australia and it has the name that I can’t say. Why is love so complicated? (my little soul was wondering)
Now, many years after and many cakes after I still think LAMINGTON IS THE ONE. My cake and my soul. But how about you my dear readers? How much do you know about this best cake from Australia? So, let me give you a quick introduction to this amazing chocolate coconut cake.
Lamington Australian Coconut cake-easy cake
DESCRIPTION OF LAMINGTON CAKE
It is the sponge cake coated in chocolate and rolled in desiccated coconut. The cake is moist, delicate and utterly delicious. So delicious that in Australia, July 21st is designated as National Lamington Day in which charity groups sell Lamingtons to raise money. (how amazing is that?)
The cake is served with tea in Australia or with coffee in Europe. This cake is also great gift for Christmas.
Also, some people use raspberry jam or plum jam as the filling for the cake. What do you think? Would you like to try it? Personally, I loved it but my favorite is still just plain Lamington cake with chocolate and coconut.
Question for YOU? Do you know what the word lamington means? The word lamington means layers of beaten gold. How poetic is that…layers of beaten gold. And you are eating that. You rich son of … cake. So, let’s make this golden cake or layers of beaten gold now.

Dip each lamington into the chocolate mixture icing and then coat in coconut.
IMPORTANT: Be sure all sides of lamingtons are deep into chocolate and then into icing.
Repeat until done.
For this process you can use only your hands or use fork. (it is your choice)
When done with icing, please let the lamingtons rest. (they need time to set).
Also, you can refrigerate lamingtons. (if you want to. I don’t)
Serve the coconut cake at room temperature.
