Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

21/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 egg white beaten with 1 tablespoon water and 1/2 teaspoon salt
sesame seeds

Steps:

  • 1.) In a mixing bowl, blend the flour, salt, yeast, and warm water. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured board and knead it for 15 minutes. You may have to add extra flour to make a stiff more supple dough. Put it into an oiled mixing bowl, turning so that it is coated with the oil. Covered with plastic wrap and allow to rise ina warm place until it has doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. 2.) Punch down the dough. Return half to the bowl and take the other half to make into bread sticks. With a knife, cut the dought into 8 equal pieces. Using your palms, roll each piece into a cut the dough into a thin cylinder about 8 inches long. Cut each one in half and place them, 1 inch apart, on a oiled baking sheet. Let them sit for 20 minutes, until they just begin to soften in contour. Brush with the egg glaze, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 300 degress. The longer they cook, the crisper they will become 3.)Meanwhile, punch down the rest of the dough again. Run it through the pasta machine several times, dusting it with flour if it feels sticky. Begin to narrow the opening of the machine and continue until the dough is quite thin. Change the rollers and cut the dough into noodles. Lay them on a wooden board or dish towel to rise slightly while you bring a pot of water to boil. Drop the noodles into the boiling water. Test for doneness as soon as the water returns to the boil Drain in a colander and serve with a hearty meat-based sauce and a basket of sesame studded bread sticks
