Tips to Make Gluten-Free Egg Noodles

• Ensure your gluten-free flour is a good blend that includes xanthan gum for better texture.
• Don’t skip the resting time; this helps the dough relax and makes it easier to roll out.
• Use a pasta machine if you have one to roll out the dough evenly.

Variation (if any)

You can experiment with different flavors by adding herbs, such as parsley or basil, to the dough. You can also try adding turmeric for a lovely golden color or spinach puree for a green version.

FAQs
