How to Roll and Cut Dough
Prepare dough recipe.
1. Follow "Pasta Machine Assembly" instructions.
Align notches on Handle with notches in Roller
Drive Slot. Slide Handle into Roller Drive Slot.
2. Locate Setting Knob on left side of Pasta
Machine. Setting Knob is numbered 1-7.
Number 1 setting is narrowest setting for Sheet
Rollers; number 7 is widest setting for Sheet
Rollers. To adjust Setting Knob, pull out on
Knob and turn it to desired setting. As you turn
Setting Knob you will be able to see Sheet
Rollers moving closer together or further apart.
3. Lightly flour work surface.
4. Adjust Setting Knob to 7. Turn Handle clockwise
while feeding a piece of dough into Rollers.
Once dough has gone through Rollers, lightly
flour it, fold it in half and run it through Rollers
again. Repeat this process several times: lightly
flour, fold in half, run through Rollers.
5. As dough exits Rollers, it will get longer with
each pass. Lay strip of dough out flat on your
work space.
6. Now adjust Setting Knob to 6. Run dough
through Rollers. Repeat this process several
times, each time adjusting Setting Knob to next
setting until dough reaches desired thickness.
If sheet gets too long to manage, simply cut it
with a knife.
7. After reaching desired thickness, leave sheet
to rest for about 10 minutes so that it will dry
slightly and be hard enough for cutting, without
sticking to cutting rollers.
