- Make a well in the centre of your dry ingredients and crack your whole eggs directly into this along with your olive oil and egg yolk.
- With a fork, start to whisk up the eggs whilegradually incorporating the flour. Eventually this will become much thicker and more dough like, at which point you can start to work the rest of the flour in with your hands by kneading the dough.
