Why bronze:
Bronze dies were the traditional way of making pasta. The noodles made “al bronzo” are rarely found and usually only in selected delicatessens.
By pressing the pasta dough through the bronze matrices, the surface of the pasta is slightly roughened at the same time, making the pasta easier to grip. This allows the pasta to better absorb the sauce, flavors and spices later on.

Recipe:
It is recommended to use durum wheat semolina, enough cold liquid such as water and/or egg. The dough should be approx. Knead for 8-10 minutes, this is the only way the gluten from the durum wheat can fully develop. The result should be a moist, crumbly dough. We recommend the following standard recipe for our matrices:

Ingredients:

250 g durum wheat semolina or Semola rimacinata

Choose ONE of the following ingredients:

100 ml cold water or

110 ml liquid consisting of two eggs, rest water, lightly whisked

Instructions:

Please only use cold liquids.

Avoid flour, better replace with semolina.

Binding agents such as xanthan, gluten, etc. Use only to a small extent, maximum 1 teaspoon per 500 g of dry ingredients. Otherwise the dough will be too firm and the matrices could break.

If you knead the dough longer or left to rest, the gluten will develop on its own.

A good pasta dough can be recognized by the fact that it is moist and crumbly.

The matrices can also be used to produce gluten-free pasta.

Storage:
Do you have several bronze matrices and are you looking for storage to protect the screen from dust and darkening due to the effects of light? Then we recommend our storage systems, which you will find in our range.
