Ingredients
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons water, divided
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups bread flour + flour for dusting
Step by step
Place 2 cups bread flour and salt in the mixing bowl of your KitchenAid® Stand Mixer. Use the paddle attachment on low to combine. Add ½ cup of water gradually. Allow to mix for one minute. Add 1 teaspoon of water at a time only until the dough forms a ball. You may only need 1 teaspoon of water and do not exceed 2 tablespoons. Use as little water as possible!
Switch to the dough hook and knead for 10 minutes on medium speed. (The ball may break into two or three balls. Push it back together and continue kneading.) Shape the dough into a neat ball and leave in the mixing bowl. Cover and rest at room temperature for 3 hours. *After dough has been left for 3 hours, you can use it, refrigerate it for a few hours before rolling, or freeze it for several weeks.
Roll out the dough on a very well floured (all-purpose flour is ok here too) surface to ⅛ inch thickness. Make sure the dough is coated in flour top and bottom and fold it a few times. Slice ¼” thick. Sprinkle more flour over it and pull the noodles apart with your fingers.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil until desired tenderness, about two minutes. Drain and use immediately with your choice of soup or sauce.
