Noodles (hand pulled)

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp kosher salt

1 Cup warm water

3 Cups all purpose flour 

oil for brushing

  1. Dissolve the baking soda and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in the warm water.  Place flour in stand mixer and add the water mixture.  Use the dough hook to combine into a shaggy dough.  Continue with the stand mixer on medium speed until the dough is shook and elastic, around 10 minutes.  Wrap the dough in plastic and let it rest for 30 minutes longer.  Divide into 3 equal parts. Use a rolling pin to roll them into rectangles about 12 inches long.   Cut into one inch wide strips.  Cover a sheet pan with plastic wrap and brush each with oil and then flip over and brush the other side.  Cover with plastic wrap.  Let rest for one hour.  Take each strip and pull the noodles to make long thin strips.
