4.5 from 142 reviews

This Homemade Noodles recipe provides a simple and classic way to make fresh noodles from scratch using just flour, eggs, and salt. The dough is mixed, rolled, cut into noodle shapes, and then boiled until tender, resulting in a versatile base for many dishes.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Mix Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack the eggs into it. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs with your hands or a fork until a dough forms.
  2. Roll and Cut Noodles: On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic and let rest for 20 minutes to relax the gluten. Then roll the dough out thinly with a rolling pin and cut into thin strips to form noodles.
  3. Boil Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh noodles and cook for 2-4 minutes until they float to the surface and are tender. Drain and rinse lightly with cold water to stop cooking. Serve with your favorite sauce or broth.

Notes

  • Resting the dough is important to make rolling easier and prevent shrinkage.
  • Use all-purpose flour for the best texture; bread flour can make noodles chewier.
  • Fresh noodles cook quickly, so watch them closely to avoid overcooking.
  • You can dry cut noodles on a floured towel if not cooking immediately.
