"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Traditional Method
Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
280 grams (10 ounces/about 2 cups) flour, plus more for dusting
2 (110 grams/about 4 ounces) eggs
4 (70 grams/about 2 ½ ounces) egg yolks
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil (optional)
Directions:
Directions:
On a large, clean work surface, pour flour in a mound. Make a well in the center about 4 inches wide. Pour eggs, egg yolks, salt, and oil into well and, using a fork, beat thoroughly. When combined, gradually incorporate flour into the eggs until a wet, sticky dough has formed.

Using a bench knife, scrape excess dough from fork and fingers. Begin to fold additional flour into the dough with the bench knife, turning the dough roughly 45 degrees each time, until dough feels firm and dry, and can form a craggy-looking ball, 2 to 5 minutes.

Knead dough until a smooth, elastic texture like a firm ball of Play-Doh develops. If dough feels too wet, add flour in 1 teaspoon increments. If dough feels too dry, add water slowly using a spray bottle.

Wrap ball of dough tightly in plastic wrap and rest on countertop for 30 minutes.

Roll out and shape as desired.

Directions:
Add the flour and salt to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times. Add eggs, egg yolks, and oil. Mix to combine until the dough comes together in a ball. It should be soft but should not stick to your fingers.

Remove the dough from the food processor. Knead against the counter a few times until it comes together into a smooth ball.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or parchment paper, shaping it into a 6-inch log. Set is aside at room temperature for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.

Roll out and shape as desired.
