1. 1

   Make a mound of the flour in the center of a large wooden cutting board.

2. 2

   Make a well in the middle of the flour and add the eggs, oil and pepper.

3. 3

   Using a fork, beat together the eggs, oil and pepper and begin to incorporate the flour starting with the inner rim of the well.

   As you expand the well, keep pushing the flour up to retain the well shape.

   Do not worry that this initial phase looks messy.

   Discard these bits.

   Lightly flour the board and continue kneading for 3 more minutes.

    Continue to knead for another 3 minutes, remembering to dust your board when necessary.

    Wrap the dough in plastic and allow to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
