Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 units large eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well to distribute the salt evenly.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the eggs into it.
Add the water to the well.
Using a fork, beat the eggs and water together, gradually incorporating the flour from the sides of the well until the dough begins to come together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Add a little extra flour if the dough is too sticky.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 20 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.
After resting, divide the dough into two portions for easier handling.
On a floured surface, roll out each portion of dough to your desired thickness (typically 1/8 inch for noodles). Keep turning and flouring the dough as needed to prevent sticking.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into thin strips for noodles. You can make them as wide or as narrow as you like.
Separate the noodles gently and dust them lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles for 2-5 minutes, depending on their thickness, until tender. Stir occasionally to prevent them from clumping together.
Drain the noodles and serve immediately, or incorporate them into your desired dish or soup.
