A Note on Precision

Eggs vary in size, flour in humidity and gluten content, days vary in their weather, locations in their climate – and you need to choose how stiff your dough is to be (for machine- or hand rolling). The measurements below are therefore imprecise. A little practice will tell you when to add a touch more flour or egg. As a general rule, your dough should have as much spring in it as a relaxed muscle in your forearm.
