Homemade Noodles
Ingredients: 2 eggs, a pinch of salt, white flour
To prepare delicious dough strips, we start by gathering the necessary ingredients. We will need fresh eggs, a pinch of salt, and high-quality white flour. In a large bowl, we crack the eggs and whisk them well with a whisk until they become a homogeneous and fluffy mixture. We add a pinch of salt, which will enhance the flavor of the dough and help achieve a finer texture.
As we continue to mix, we start to incorporate the white flour, adding it gradually. It is important to add the flour in small amounts to control the consistency of the dough. We mix with a spatula or by hand until we obtain a soft and elastic dough that easily separates from the sides of the bowl. If the dough is too sticky, we can add a little more flour until it becomes easy to handle.
Once we have obtained the desired dough, we prepare to roll it out. On a clean surface sprinkled with flour, we use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a thin sheet, about 2-3 mm thick. It is essential to be patient at this stage to ensure that the dough sheet is even and does not tear.
Once the dough sheet is rolled out, we let it dry on a tray or a flat surface so that it dries slightly. This step is crucial because dough that is too wet can become sticky and hard to cut. After about 30-45 minutes, we check if the dough has dried sufficiently. When it is ready, we carefully roll the sheet into a tight cylinder.
Using a sharp knife, we cut the cylinder into thin strips, about 5 mm wide. The resulting strips should be uniform to cook evenly in the recipes we will use them for. After we finish cutting, we spread the strips on a clean surface, letting them dry for a few more minutes. These dough strips can be used in various dishes, such as soups, salads, or stir-fried dishes, adding texture and flavor to every meal. So, you are ready to enjoy these dough strips that will transform any meal into an unforgettable culinary experience!
