Homemade Noodles

Recipe View In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and crack the egg into it. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Gradually incorporate the flour into the egg, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time. (7 minutes)

Recipe View Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll. (30 minutes)

Recipe View Lightly flour your work surface. Divide the dough in half. Roll out one half of the dough into a very thin sheet, about 1/16 inch thick. Aim for a rectangular shape. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Dust the rolled-out dough with flour to prevent sticking. Gently roll the dough up tightly, like a jelly roll. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled dough into 1/4-inch wide strips. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Unravel the noodle strands and spread them out on a clean surface or baking sheet to dry slightly. This will help prevent them from sticking together during cooking. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Repeat steps 5-8 with the remaining dough.

Recipe View To cook the noodles, bring a pot of salted water or chicken broth to a boil. Drop the noodles into the boiling liquid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender and cooked through. Fresh noodles cook very quickly! (5 minutes)
