- This video is a step-by-step tutorial showing how to roll out egg pasta by hand the traditional Italian way, using an enormous rolling pin called a 'Matterello'.
Welcome to Bologna, capital of the Emilia Romagna region of italy.
Here, we have a wonderful tradition - that of making pasta by hand with a huge rolling pin.
If you think Tortellini, Tortelloni, Tagliatelle, Pappardelle, Farfalle and a whole host of other pasta shapes, the likelihood is that they all come from here. In this video tutorial, I show you each and every step to rolling out an amazing 'sfoglia' or sheet of dough by hand, the craft honed by pasta grannies all over Northern Italy.
Rolling an egg pasta dough by hand, with a wooden rolling pin and on a wooden board does something magical - it creates an amazing texture and mouthfeel as well as picking up the sauce and condiment.
Pasta, at the end of the day, is all about texture. Rolling a pasta dough by hand is not as difficult as it looks. Give it a try and see how it goes. If you want more in-depth tutorials, you can find these here: / yummyitaly

I challenge anyone to find a better video than this. I’m eternally grateful that my first and greatest mentor when I was a chef was Italian.
Thanks for your kind words!

very few, even professionals, can do that correctly
Wow! Thank you!

Looks like I'll be making a trip to my local builder store for a 1.5"-2" dia 36" long maple dowel.
That was a great video thank you very much.

Thank you for making this excellent lesson video! I’m eagerly awaiting more from you on everything in the Italian kitchen! I used 3-day refrigerated autolyzed semolina egg dough to do this method to make a 30 layer lasagna!
My question is, where did you get that magnificent piece of wood?
Great tutorial! Well done
Thanks a lot!

Grazie! Exactly what I needed 🎉
good tutorial, very useful
Thank you and hopefully a reminder for my students 😄
Grazie Helena for the lesson, I just did first time, excellent, thank you once again!!!
EXCELLENT JOB........ BRAVO
Thank you for letting me know and I hope it helps!
My mother used to roll out dough. I still have her rolling pin hanging in my kitchen. I never knew it was called a "matterelllo".
That's wonderful! I hope you use it to make pasta! Do you already use it to roll out dough?
Step one: buy giant 500 dollar wooden board and kitchen large enough to house it.
The board costs about US$35. I keep it upright behind a cupboard and it literally takes up no space at all. Any carpenter can make the board with a good, solid wood. I take it out when I make pasta . Really easy and no hassle whatsoever :-)
Yummy Italy Good to know. Can you drop a link where you bought it?
@@BP-or2iu Sure thing. Here is the link - they sell boards, pins and a ton of pasta equipment. Shipping prices are usually very reasonable especially if you buy a few things. I find the site tempting - go in for one thing and come out with 20 ;-). www.tagliapasta.com/index/en/prodotti/elenco/boards-rolling-pins-kitchen-spatulas-and-dough-rollers.html

Excellent tutorial very well explained!
Love the instructions. So helpful.
What is the purpose of the swimming technique? Doesn't seem like a lot of pressure is put on the pin. Thanks.
The purpose of this technique is to let the weight of the pin and slight pressure extend the dough organically
Very insightful...you da boss...thanks.
Really nice instructional video. What kind of wood is your pasta rolling board? Plywood? Dimensions?
Thanks for letting me know you like it! The board 120cm x 60cm and has a front downward lip to stop it sliding across the table and moving around. here in Italy usually beech, birch, poplar are used. Not plywood but wooden panels that have been put together. I bought it as it is and am not a carpenter so can't help with technical details I am afraid! But am happy to send you a link to the website if you're interested!

Great video, where did you pick up such a nice mortadella?
I live in Bologna!!! :-).
@@yummyitaly1970 and that would be why, they are harder to find in the US
I know. We are very spoiled

Thank you for sharing. What is the size of the Mattarello? I understand that length is dictated by the wooden board width, but what is the thickness? I’m making mine from wooden dowel, should it be around 4.5 to 5 cm?
Also do you take special care of yours?
Please keep adding more detailed pasta videos ; it keeps us inspired!
Ciao! You're welcome. In this video my board is 100 cm x 60 cm and my Mattarello is 90cm long and 35mm in diameter. A lot will depend on the kind of wood you are using and the size of your hands. My hands are quite small, but also remember that the heavier the Mattarello is, the harder it is to lift and turn, especially when you have pasta hanging off it. Let me know how it goes! Also, one end of the Mattarello is rounded and this is to perfect the edges. Only one end is bevelled. Hope this information helps.
@@yummyitaly1970 ciao, one of the happiest days! A friend o’mine has good tools in his garage. He made me a beautiful mattarello from dowel from hardware store. 1 meter length, 4.5 cm diameter
Sono pronto!
@@igoreren6149 that's great news! Enjoy learning! And what a great friend you have. Now you have to make him pasta :-)

How much eggs and flour did you use for this size sfoglia?
Ciao, I think it was 2 eggs (62-65g with the shell) and 200g flour, judging by the size of the sfoglia.
Thx! I am letting my pasta sit and I don’t have a pasta maker.
Very informative video. Can I ask what are the dimensions of your pasta board and the type of wood? Thanks.
Hi Mike, yes, my pasta board is 60cm deep and 100cm wide. I have a bigger one at home which I use for larger 'sfoglie' or sheets of dough. It is made of birch. You can purchase from a company called www.tagliapasta.com although I am not sure what their shipping prices are like at the moment.

👏👏😍👏😍😋🌹
Why do people use pasta machine? Is it really that hard to roll baby hand? It looks fairly easy in your video but I hear many people complaint about the difficulty of rolling. Unless you make large volumes a machine is probably useful?
It is only hard if you don't have a specific technique to follow. All my students are able to roll by hand with practice. Obviously, you need practice as with everything, but if you follow the instructions carefully, you will be able to do it!
