Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons water (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Start by measuring out your ingredients. Place the flour and salt in a medium bowl.
  2. Combine and Mix: Create a well in the center of the flour mixture, then add the beaten egg. Stir until the dough begins to come together. If the dough feels too stiff, add water one tablespoon at a time. Depending on your climate, you may need to adjust the amount of water.
  3. Knead the Dough: Once the dough is manageable, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it for 3-4 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. Form it into a ball and place it in a lightly floured bowl. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes to one hour. This step helps the gluten relax, making the dough easier to roll out.
  4. Roll and Cut: After resting, roll the dough out by hand or use a pasta-making machine. Aim for even thickness, about 1/8 inch or thinner, depending on your preference. Use a pasta cutter or a knife to slice the dough into your desired noodle shapes.
  5. Cook or Dry: You can cook the noodles fresh or dry them for later use. Fresh noodles only need a quick boil—about 2-3 minutes. If drying, use a noodle rack or a food dehydrator to ensure even drying.
