Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cups semolina flour, plus more for baking sheet 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon coarse salt 1 cup water, divided, plus more if needed

Directions

Mound semolina and all-purpose flours and salt in 3 separate piles on a large, clean work surface.

Using your fingers, swirl ingredients together until combined.

Gather flour mixture into a pile, and create a well in center. Pour 1/2 cup water into well.

Gradually incorporate flour mixture into water using your fingers.

Once all the water is absorbed, continue adding water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture begins to form a dough.

Start to gather and knead dough, working it until no dry flour remains on work surface.

Continue to knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.

Divide dough into 16 equal portions, and cover them with a clean, damp kitchen towel.

Roll 1 portion of dough into an 18-inch-long rope.

Use a knife to cut and drag a 1/3-inch piece of dough from end of rope facing you – a grainy wooden cutting board helps grip the dough.

Holding knife at a 45-degree angle to work surface, press and roll dough toward you.

Unfurl each piece of dough over your thumb in the opposite direction to form a concave shape, and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lightly sprinkled with semolina flour. Repeat with remaining dough. Orecchiette can be stored at room temperature in a single layer overnight; cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
