INGREDIENTS
FOR JJJJJ PEOPLE:
- 200 grams/ 2.01
cup of wheat flour
- 2 whole eggs
- 60 grams/ 5. 34
tablespoons of cooked spinach
(add water if necessary, or replace it with egg whites)
- salted boiling
water
- 20 grams/ 1.49 tablespoon
of butter or olive oil
PROCEDURE:
Sift
flour on the board, make a hole in the middle and crack the eggs in it, if it's
necessary add some warm water. Mix the mixture with wooden spoon then try to
knead it with your fingers. After the mixture is moisturized enough knead it
into dough. Knead the dough until it becomes elastic and is not sticking to your
hands and board.
When
you cut the dough in half it should be dense and free of holes.
When
the dough was well kneaded (for 15 minutes) spread oil over the dough ball on
the top, and place it to rest for ½ hour, it can also be more time, cover it
with the container, in order to avoid drying.
Afterwards
re-knead the dough and make elongate roll out of it, cut it in half and then
cut it for 1 centimetre / 0.39 inches thick to get dough cloths (which must be
evenly thick).
Before
you put the dough cloths through the noodle machine, you have to carefully
sprinkle them with flour, so that they will not stick to the rollers. Leave the
rolled out dough to dry on a board or a kitchen cloth.
When
the dough isn`t sticky anymore, sprinkle it with some flour and using the
noodle machine cut it into strips and leave them to dry.
There
is no need to dry them, if you plan to cook the noodles right away.
You can
serve them as a side dish alongside various meat dishes or as an appetizer with
herbs or a sauce.
Following
the same procedure, you can also make carrot noodles.
