A few egg-free homemade noodle recipes

Today, on the shelves of pasta, a wide assortment is presented with a wide range of prices. But not one of them can replace a delicious homemade noodle. With her familiar everyday dishes begin to play with new colors. Homemade noodles have a rich taste and pleasant texture.

As a rule, at home, pasta is made from eggs. But such a recipe is not suitable for everyone. Many people do not eat eggs because of allergies. In addition, animal products are not suitable for vegetarians and fasting.

Can I make homemade noodles without eggs? The dough recipe for this dish should look very simple and consist of only three ingredients - water, salt and flour. But will such pasta be tasty?

Classic Egg Dough

According to the classic recipe, noodles are kneaded only on egg yolks. More economical housewives use the whole egg as a whole - this is also allowed.

For the preparation of homemade noodles according to the classic recipe, cooks take the highest grade fine flour with a high gluten content. This ensures that pasta does not fall apart during the cooking process.

In Italian cuisine, homemade pasta is prepared on the basis of two types of flour - fine grinding from durum wheat and coarse (hard cereal of lemon color, reminiscent of semolina, but from coarse wheat).

In Russian cuisine, only fine flour is used.

The classic noodle recipe looks like this:

• salt and beat the yolks with a whisk;
• then pour a glass of flour;
• mix the dough thoroughly and add flour until it becomes firm and elastic;
• then he needs to “rest” under the towel for half an hour.

Roll out the dough into thin sheets, then cut them into noodles of any shape. It can be immediately put in a dish or dried to cook through time.

Egg-free noodles: what to cook from

The recipe for home-made noodles without eggs for soup and main dishes is quite simple: you need to remove animal products from the classic and replace them with water. The result is a completely different dough - the egg will no longer hold it together, and it will be prone to boil during heat treatment. But if you take a good flour with a high content of gluten, it will not be so significant.

The bad news is that homemade egg-free noodles according to the recipe mentioned above become pretty tasteless. And the absence of bright and tasty yolks needs to be compensated for by something.

Buckwheat noodles

It is better not to experiment with the egg-free dough for homemade pasta. In modern Russian cooking, it is customary to prepare dishes from different types of flour, for example, ordinary whole grain, rye or rice. But when cooking homemade noodles without eggs according to the recipe with the indicated components, the result can be disastrous. Varieties of low-gluten flour will ruin the dish, as the paste will decay during cooking.

But some combinations of different types of flour were tested and recognized successful. For example, the "union" of buckwheat and wheat.

Buckwheat noodles are a dish from Asian cuisine. To prepare it you need to take:

• Premium wheat flour - 2.5 cups.
• Buckwheat flour (you can make it yourself on a coffee grinder) - 1.5 cups.
• Heated water - 1.5 cups.
• Salt to taste.

Buckwheat noodles are prepared as follows:

• Mix dry ingredients and pour hot water.
• Knead the dough and leave it to swell for 30 minutes.
• Roll the dough in small portions into layers of 4-5 mm and chop the noodles. It is not necessary to roll out thinner, otherwise the products will stretch and tear.
• Dry the noodles. This will take a little longer than when drying products from wheat flour.

Colored noodles

How else can you make homemade noodles without eggs? There are a lot of recipes, but the most interesting is colored pasta. To prepare them, you can use the following products:

• Greens and spinach juice will turn green.
• Turmeric and saffron - intense yellow.
• Carrot juice will color the noodles orange.
• Tomato paste will give a dark orange hue.
• Beetroot juice turns red and reddish-purple.
• Adding dried herbs, such as dill, basil, and rosemary, will not color the pasta, but make it speckled with speckles.

Any of these supplements is available to everyone. When adding juice, you need to compensate for the excess liquid by adding flour. Some additional ingredients have almost no effect on the taste of noodles. Others feel too noticeable; they should not be added to some dishes. For example, pasta with beetroot juice is better not to put in a traditional soup with noodles and chicken. All colored noodles lose much color during long-term storage - this must be taken into account.
