Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack in the eggs. Using a fork, beat the eggs gently, then gradually incorporate the flour until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Roll Out the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into quarters. Roll out each piece into thin sheets using a pasta machine or a rolling pin, dusting with flour as needed.
