Making noodles at home can be a rewarding and fun process.

Here's a basic
recipe for making homemade egg noodles:

Ingredients:

 2 cups all-purpose flour

 3 large eggs
 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough: a. On a clean surface or in a large mixing bowl, make a

mound with the flour. b. Create a well in the center of the flour mound. c.
Crack the eggs into the well and add salt if desired.

2. Mix the Ingredients: a. Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into
the eggs. b. Continue mixing until the dough starts to come together.

3. Knead the Dough: a. Use your hands to knead the dough. If it's too sticky,
add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little water. b. Knead for about 5-10
minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

4. Rest the Dough: a. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room
temperature for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax.

5. Roll Out the Dough: a. Cut the rested dough into smaller sections. b. On a
floured surface, roll out each section of dough into a thin sheet. You can use a
rolling pin to achieve the desired thickness.

6. Cut the Noodles: a. Once the dough is rolled out, you can cut it into your
desired noodle shape. You can use a knife for wide noodles or a pasta
machine for thin, consistent noodles.

7. Cook the Noodles: a. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. b. Drop the
noodles into the boiling water and cook for 2-4 minutes, depending on the
thickness of the noodles. Fresh noodles cook faster than store-bought dried
noodles.

8. Drain and Serve: a. Once the noodles are cooked to your liking, drain them
and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. b. Serve the noodles
immediately with your favorite sauce, stir-fry, or soup.

Tips:

 Adjust the thickness of the noodles based on your preference.

 You can let the rolled-out dough dry for a short time before cutting for
a more traditional pasta texture.
 Experiment with different shapes and sizes.

Homemade noodles can add a delicious and personal touch to your favorite
dishes. Enjoy your homemade noodles!
