Learn to Make Noodles

By Bengre Boys

Although many people like noodles and they are European and Asia cuisines basic staples, they do not have an idea of how they are made. Using a few steps, one can be able to make noodles. Making and dividing up pasta dough is the first step of making noodles. After the portioning the dough should be relaxed and using semolina or all purpose flour one should dust a flat, big surface to prevent sticking.

One should then flatten the dough slightly; more so the end to be fed into the machine. None of the doughs sides should be very thick as it will be hard to catch the end inside the pasta machine rollers. The next step is to dust the machine to be used for making pasta and only semolina or all purpose should be used to do it. During dusting the rollers should be rotated so that a cooking flour layer can coat them. Dusting helps to prevent the dough from stick when rolling.

The dough machine should be placed very high and the slimmer of the sides of the dough put in the two key rollers middle. One should then pass the prepared dough through the rollers as they spin them. Automated rollers are among the features of some pasta machines while others have cranks that can be held by hand. After being taken through the rollers successfully the pasta will increase in length in a dramatic way. One might have difficulties when making the noodles as they will be longer and thinner. Dusting of the pan and folding the sheet should be done. The folding is done to reduce length.

The next step is to set the rollers together closely and re-pass the pasta through them. If the length of the pasta is too long one can cut it and complete work with their hand held dough. The dough that was partially rolled should be passed through the rollers completely at this point. One should repeat the dusting, folding and passing through the machine until the get their desired thickness. Ultimately the dough should be slightly moist with no blemishes or cracks. The dough should then be left to rest for several minutes.

One should then choose the length they want their noodles to be, if they want fettuccine they should go for twelve inches , if they want the short ones they should go for one or two inches and so on. They should place the entire sheet in the cutters and then dust the noodles with coating, light flour and they will have completed the noodle making process.
