Ingredients
  

For the Noodles
  • 2 cups gluten-free flour blend A mix of rice, almond, or tapioca flours works best.
  • 2 large eggs Use room temperature eggs for better blending.
  • 1 pinch salt For flavor enhancement.
  • 1 tablespoon xanthan gum Optional, adds elasticity and improves texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, eggs, and salt. Knead the mixture until it forms a firm yet pliable dough.
  2. If the dough feels dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it comes together.
Rolling and Shaping
  1. Dust a clean surface with gluten-free flour. Roll out the dough to your desired thickness (around 1/8 inch for most recipes).
  2. Use a sharp knife or a pasta cutter to slice the dough into noodle strips.
Cooking
  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the noodles in and cook for 3-5 minutes, depending on thickness.
  2. Drain and rinse with cool water to prevent sticking.
Serving
  1. Toss the noodles with sauce, use them in soups, or add them to a stir-fry for a delicious meal.

Notes

Tips for perfect texture: Choose a blend with tapioca starch for chewier noodles or almond flour for a nutty flavor. Knead thoroughly for better cohesion. Gluten-free noodles freeze well. Lay them on a baking sheet, freeze for an hour, then transfer to a sealed bag. Avoid using too much flour to prevent density, and let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes to hydrate properly.
