Homemade Spaghetti Made with Milk (Round 82)

Ingredients:

1. 400g Organic wheat flour

2. 170ml skimmed milk 0.1% fat (42.5% of flour weight)

3. 2 tsp salt (8g) (2% of flour weight)

4. 1 tsp olive oil (4ml) (1% of flour weight, in addition to the 170ml of liquid)

5. 1 litre of boiling water for cooking each 100g of noodles

Instructions:

1. Mix 3 cycles (9 mins). Dough should look small lumpy and compact like rice grains. Not too hard, not too small. Do not mix more than 3 times, as it will overmix the dough and break the gluten formation.

2. Rest for 20 mins.

3. Mix 1 cycle and extrude straight with spaghetti disc. 

4. Bring to boil a pot of water. 

5. Cook for 3 mins (or 30 seconds after the noodles are added in and started re-boiling). Cook 2.5 minutes if you like it al dente and chewy, 3 mins if you like it softer but still chewy.

6. Drain and toss in soy sauce and sesame oil to prevent sticking. Serve as dry noodles or in soup.

7. If serving in soup, pour into the soup only when you are about to eat it.
