I learned the art of pici making in Tuscany from a woman who refused to give me the recipe - apparently, it's all about the feel! It may seem involved, but it's a really fun project that reminds me a lot of making play dough necklaces in arts and crafts.

Author's Notes

I used Cup4Cup flour and found that it gave the gluten-free strands some nice elasticity. When I was in Tuscany, we used the Schar brand and they broke a lot more easily.

Try whatever gluten-free AP flour you have on hand, but if you find the dough is too delicate to roll, you may have to simply shape it into a tube with your hands, and not try to roll and stretch at the same time.
Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Place the Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour (1 1/2 cups) in a large mixing bowl and push up against the sides, creating a well in the center. Crack the Eggs (2) into the well, and beat with a fork, slowly incorporating more flour as you mix it together. Add the Water (1/2 cup), one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is moist and beginning to hold together. It should be the consistency of playdough, with just a few dry crumbs.

With clean hands, knead the dough in the bowl, pushing down and folding the patty back on itself until you have a ball that is more or less smooth in texture.
