Buckwheat Noodles

(from lcheng’s recipe box)

Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 pounds [1.25 kg] semolina flour
  • 12 ounces [340 g] buckwheat flour
  • 10 1/2 ounces [300 g] egg whites
  • 13 fluid ounces [368mL] water

Directions

  1. In a mixer, combine the ingredients with a dough hook.* The dough should appear moist and mealy, and it should not form a ball until pressed together by hand. If necessary, adjust the consistency with more water or flour.

  2. Press the dough into a ball and wrap tightly with plastic. Allow the dough to rest under refrigeration for 1 hour before rolling and cutting.

  3. To roll out the dough, pass small 1⁄2-pound [225-g] pieces through the widest setting of a pasta machine. Fold the dough into thirds and repeat 2 more times, trying to achieve a rectangular shape. Pass the dough through successively smaller settings until the desired thickness is reached. Cut into spaghetti or other shapes.
