Equipment
- Rolling Pin
- Mixing Bowl
- Knife or pasta cutter
Ingredients
Homemade Noodle Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp water only if needed
Instructions
- Place flour in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, crack in the eggs, and add salt. Use a fork to mix, pulling in flour from the sides until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead dough on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth. If too dry, add water a teaspoon at a time. Wrap in plastic wrap and rest for 20–30 minutes.
- Roll dough into a large rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Flour the surface as needed to prevent sticking.
- Fold dough into thirds like a letter. Slice into thin strips, then unfold and dust lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
- Drop noodles directly into simmering chicken soup. Cook for 2–3 minutes until tender and silky. Serve hot.
Notes
For extra flavor and color, stir in chopped herbs like parsley or thyme. You can prep the noodles ahead and freeze or air-dry them for future soups.
