Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk or water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter

Why These Ingredients Work

Eggs provide richness and structure, while flour creates a tender yet sturdy noodle. A touch of fat keeps the dough soft and easy to roll.

Ingredient Notes

• Flour: All-purpose flour works best for classic texture.
• Eggs: Use room-temperature eggs for smoother dough.
• Liquid: Add milk for softer noodles or water for firmer ones.
• Fat: Butter adds richness, while olive oil keeps noodles flexible.
• Salt: Enhances flavor without overpowering the dish.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the dough

In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add eggs, milk, and oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

2. Knead until smooth

Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough should feel soft but not sticky.

3. Rest the dough

Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes. This relaxes the gluten and makes rolling easier.

4. Roll it out

Roll the dough into a thin sheet, about ⅛-inch thick. Lightly dust with flour to prevent sticking.

5. Cut the noodles

Fold the dough gently and slice into thin or wide strips using a knife or pizza cutter.

6. Cook the noodles

Bring a pot of salted water or broth to a gentle boil. Add noodles and cook for 3–5 minutes until tender.

7. Drain and serve

Drain and serve immediately, or add directly to soups and sauces.

Pro Tips & Variations

For extra-rich noodles, add an additional egg yolk to the dough. Prefer whole-wheat noodles? Swap half the flour for whole-wheat flour. These noodles can also be air-dried for longer storage. If adding to soup, slightly undercook them so they finish cooking in the broth. Want herb noodles? Add finely chopped parsley or thyme to the dough. For creamy dishes, toss cooked noodles with butter before serving to prevent sticking and add flavor.

Serving Suggestions

• Classic chicken noodle soup
