  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, whole wheat flour, salt, nutmeg and pepper, mix. Make a well in the center and add eggs and 2 tablespoons olive oil, beat well. In a bowl combine chestnut puree and 1/2 cup water, add to egg mixture. Incorporate flour and egg mix. Dough will be very stiff. Adjust with more flour or water. Knead for 10 minutes and allow dough to rest for 5 minutes.
