Procedure for the preparation of lasagna dough
To the 700 grams of wheat flour we are going to add 6 eggs and knead everything for about 20 minutes, until it has a semi-soft consistency, the flour will look like this:
We cover it and let it rest for approximately 2 hours, it can be 1 hour, only 2 hours was what it took me to make the sauce with minced meat and the béchamel sauce, so that's why I say 2 hours, but 1 hour is fine.
Preparation of the béchamel sauce
In a pot put a little oil and when it was very hot add 50 grams of flour and stir for 3 minutes, then I added the liter of liquid milk little by little and stirring all the time, just stop stirring when it starts to bubble and thickens a little, all the cooking is done over medium low heat and seasoned with salt and pepper:
Preparation of the sauce with minced meat
[1] Finely chop the onion:
[2] Chop the green bell pepper into small squares:
[3] Finely chop the two sprigs of celery.:

[5] Add the 700 grams of minced beef to the sauce:
[6] Stir everything well for 3 minutes so that the meat integrates well with the other ingredients, let it cook for 15 minutes so that the meat releases its liquids and has the following appearance:

[8] Add the 600 grams of tomato puree, this tomato puree is homemade, that is to say I made it previously to the realization of the lasagna at home, with very red tomatoes and putting them to boil adding salt, pepper and oregano:

Stretching of the dough to make the lasagna squares
We make four cuts to the dough and separate, make four buns and stretch finely with the help of a rolling pin and cut into large squares:
Don't worry about the few sheets that came out, since they are large, and when I come back and stretch them, more will come out, since in the first stretching they were a little thick.
Assembling the lasagna in the square pan:
[1] In a square pan add enough béchamel sauce on the bottom:
[2] Place the sheets of wheat flour dough:
[3] Add more bechamel sauce, sauce with minced meat, ham and cheese:
[4] We continue repeating the process of filling the layers until we reach the surface of the mold, close with the wheat flour paste and abundant bechamel sauce, minced meat sauce and cheese to make it gratin, and put it in the oven previously heated to 240 degrees Celsius:
[5] Bake for approximately 35 to 40 minutes, then remove from the oven and let the lasagna rest for 20 minutes before serving:
