How Do You Make Noodles From Wheat Flour?
[Includes measurements] For as long as there have been humans, there has been pasta. Most civilizations have their own version, with ingredients available to them. The most common pasta in North America is the white noodle that is either in the shape of Spaghetti, Linguine, or Ravioli. No matter which one, the process is usually the same. • On a large flat surface, gently drop 2 cups of flour to form a volcano (that is to say, a mountain of flour with a hole in the middle). • Sprinkle with salt to taste. • Drop your enough eggs to make 1/2 cup of eggs,or 1/2 cup of water in the middle and gently cover with some of the flour. • Start gently mixing and kneading. • Remember to add eggs or flour as needed. What you are looking for is a somewhat firm dough that will not stick to your fingers. • Once this is achieved, wrap in plastic paper and leave to rest for at least 30 minutes. • Roll it out by hand or use a pasta machine. Let dry.
