Why bronze:
Bronze dies were the traditional way of making pasta. The pasta made “al bronzo” can only be found rarely and usually only in selected delicatessens.
By pressing the pasta dough through the bronze dies, the surface of the pasta is slightly roughened and the pasta becomes more grippy. This allows the pasta to absorb the sauce, flavors and spices better later.

Recipe:
It is recommended to use durum wheat semolina, sufficiently cold liquid such as water and/or egg. The dough should be kneaded for about 8-10 minutes so that 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

Lightly whisk 110 ml of liquid consisting of two eggs, the rest of the water

Patterns:

Please only use cold liquids.

Avoid flour, replace it with semolina.

Use binding agents such as xanthan gum, gluten, etc. only to a limited extent, a maximum of 1 teaspoon per 500 grams of dry ingredients. Otherwise the dough will be too firm and the dies could break.

If you knead the dough for longer or let it rest, the gluten will develop on its own.

You can recognize a good pasta dough 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 looking for storage to protect the matrix from dust and darkening caused by light? Then we recommend our storage systems, which you can find in our range.
