Comment on A New Noodle Recipe by Brandon

Ok I just wasted my 5th batch of dough, every time I’ve been using exactly what your recipe calls for. The only difference is that my cake flour brand is “Swans Down”. Every time, no fail, if I add the 110 grams of water, it’s WAY too sticky to even touch. If I add less it works, but in every other case, no matter how long I knead it, it never reaches a pullable state. It’s always way too heavy and tears when I even try to stretch it, and even after 30 minutes of hard kneading it still springs back and isn’t at all like the texture it should be. I know I can’t master it in 5 tries, but I’d at least like to get to be able to GET to the pulling stage! Anyone else having this problem?

afraid it may yield too big of a batch, how long do you think you can keep the remaining mixture w/o using it?

@Steve:

Thanks for the compliment . Materials for the box itself cost me just under $300. That doesn't include the computer or monitor, though. I just used an old computer I had in storage. It's a 2Ghz single-core with 512MB RAM, but it runs most of the MAME games fine. I can tell it's just barely enough though since it hiccups a bit when it's doing any sort of background processing (windows update, Dropbox, etc).

Very awesome cocktail table. i have bookmarked this for future reference when I build my own. How much did you end up spending to build it? Thanks, Steve.

This looks like fun. Can the noodles be dried and cooked later using this recipe and method?

@Gorgo13:

All-purpose flour generally has too much gluten in it, so I'm a little skeptical, but by weight that flour looks like it just might work.

Hi again Luke! I haven't tried again since my last post. I have been looking for adequate flour, but I recently saw this:
http://www.francine.com/produits-francine/farine-de-ble-bio-tous-usages-_R_19_62_.htm
It says it has 0.3% sodium and 10% proteins in it. It is a all-purpose flour… do you think this might do the trick?

The lye is not poisonous because it reacts with the gluten in the dough to form the beautiful brown patina.
