Homemade noodle dough
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. You need to knead the dough by hand for quite a long time, at least ten minutes. This allows the flour to release its gluten. The dough for noodles turns out very elastic, so you can roll it out almost to transparency or even stretch it by hand without fear. This way, you can make the noodles as thin as possible. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Roll out the dough into a thin layer, no more than 2 mm thick, and carefully roll it into a tight cylinder. Then, slice the cylinder very thinly to obtain fine noodles. You can cook them immediately or store them in the refrigerator, wrapped in a plastic bag.
