How to Make Amish Noodles

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and oil until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough comes together. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each part into a long, thin rope, about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Cut each rope into 2-inch pieces.
  5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop the noodles into the boiling water, stirring to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the noodles are slightly softened but still firm to the bite.
  7. Remove the noodles from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and spread them in a single layer on a lightly floured baking sheet or clean kitchen towel.
  8. Let the noodles dry completely, turning them occasionally to prevent sticking. This drying process usually takes about 4-5 hours at room temperature or 2-3 hours in a dehydrator (recommended). Do not rush this step! The drying time contributes significantly to the unique flavor.
  9. Once completely dry, the noodles can be stored in airtight containers or freezer bags for up to 3 months.
