How to make NOODLES from scratch

how to make noodles form scratch step by step. Here are the procedures:

1. Gather the following ingredients
-four eggs
-three and a half cups of flour (unbleached)
-3 tablespoons of water or egg yolks

2. Pile the flour in a mountain form on a clean board.

3. Scoop a little well in the center (about 4 inches diameter).

4. Break the eggs, pile them into a small bowl then drop them on the center of the well (flour). For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of salt.

5. Stir the little portions of the flour from the edges into the egg. Be sure that you do this slowly so that the egg does not spill. Keep in stirring it up until the flour and egg are fully mixed together. This should form a sticky dry dough.

6. Gather the whole dough and make a new well at the top then add the water (or egg yolks).

7. Shape the dough into a ball and place a bowl or any plastic cover at the top of the dough then leave it at rest for about 25 to 30 minutes.

8. Dust the working board and rolling pin with flour. Flatten the dough on the board, fold it into thirds of its size and then flatten it out again, this time, stretch it until it is flat and smooth. As an alternative to this procedure, you can just use a pasta rolling machine to roll out the dough.

9. Air dry the dough for 15 minutes or so and then put it through a noodle cutter or roll it up in a jelly roll form and then slice it up with a knife at the preferred width. You can also flatten it out and then slice it up for lasagna or ravioli,

10. Once you are done, air dry the noodles by hanging them on plastic hangers for several hours.
