Recipe: Homemade Noodles

Homemade Noodles

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cool water, 68F
1 egg
pinch of flour for dusting

Sift flour and salt together into medium bowl. Beat together cool water and egg; stir into flour mixture until combined.

Knead dough until smooth, 10 minutes by hand or 8 minutes with a dough hook. Cover with a wet cheese cloth or towel for 30-60 minutes.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out into a thin sheet. Cut into strips or use a pasta machine. Separate by lightly tossing with a dusting of flour.*

To cook fresh noodles, bring 10-12 cups water or broth to boil; gradually add noodles. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes.

*Noodles may be used immediately, frozen in a sealed container, or dried for later use.
