Elastic noodles (with buckwheat and razi)
Noodles with the addition of buckwheat and razi are not difficult to stretch at all, I use these tricks for a soft and pliable 'black' pie noodles.
Preparation steps
- Mix all flours with salt. I put 3 teaspoons on this amount, because I have the impression that salt collects moisture in the dough, and moisture is very important here. The noodles are not too salty but neutral, if you like saltier noodles, you can add more salt to taste. In another bowl, mix the room temperature egg, oil and warm water. It is important that all the liquid that is put in the flour is warm, because the flour grains will soften better. It will look too much water to you, but knead, knead and persevere in mixing. The dough stays sticky for a long time and it takes about ten minutes or more for all the water to be absorbed. Be persistent! :)) I even sometimes add another teaspoon or two of water. Your goal is a very soft dough, even softer than a standard noodle. When you put the ball on the table, it slowly starts to descend by itself. All the additional moisture contributes to the softening of the grains of buckwheat and buckwheat. More oil is put into this dough than is usual in our region. I picked up this trick from the Turks, who often put a lot of milk and oil in their noodles, and their noodles are very elastic. Once you have kneaded a smooth ball, divide it into 2-3 parts: if you have a table of approx. 2x1m, then it is better to work with 3 noodles; if your work surface is larger, then you can also make 2 pieces.
- Now comes a very important step: leave the noodles to stand for a long time. This is important for the ingredients to soak and for the dough to become elastic. It is best to substitute in the evening and stretch in the morning, or vice versa.
- Then there is the stretching, as well as other noodles .. It is a real pleasure for me to work with this kind of dough, because it is very nice, soft and can be stretched quite thin - who chews :)) There will be some holes here and there, but it is inevitable with buckwheat . However, don't let this little thing spoil your head;)
- Further work with the crust as with everything else, stuff as desired, bake, pour some topping as desired .. The possibilities are various.
- Let's say potatoes ..
- or greens .. And on the cover is cheesecake.
