Homemade Soba - Best Low-Gluten Noodle Recipe

 

I'm super happy today. Just produced the best batch of homemade soba noodles with my Joyoung Noodlemaker. It came out smoothly, without having the ridges appearing on the surface of the strands. Dry to the touch, held together well enough to not break as they appeared!!! I managed to get 460g worth of soba with a combination of 400g buckwheat flour + plain flour.

Cooked 150g for my two boys, and have four more servings for later on. Had it with tomatoes-garlic-onions-basil sauce. I know, it's a weird combination but the boys like it. So, i'll just call today's meal Sobaghetti, ok. I know, you all now want to know the ratio used in this batch of homemade low-gluten noodle recipe right.... here you go :

Homemade Wholemeal Honey Pasta Recipe

Life is good, especially good when the i get an idea to transform plain simple flour into something different for my family to enjoy. This morning, as i was rummaging through the many flour containers inside the fridge, i found a small packet of wholemeal flour. Hubs bought a new jar of acacia honey from the organic shop and both items gave me an idea to make a batch of wholemeal honey pasta to make spaghetti for the kids with my Joyoung Noodlemaker.

I did not weigh how much wholemeal flour i had and just added extra plain flour to it to make it a 400g batch. With 140ml honey+water, oil and sea salt, i got myself a nice batch of sweet-smelling homemade wholemeal honey-flavored pasta. Wholemeal flour gave the batch of pasta great texture and bite without being chewy. It is also good eaten plain without topping, especially when made with the macaroni disc. Kids will love the delicate taste of honey in it.

What kinds of flour can be used with a noodle maker?

The four basic flours that can be used with a noodle maker are:

1) Plain flour, also known as general flour.

2) Bread flour, also known as high protein flour

3) Cake flour, also known as super fine flour

4) Wholemeal flour

Other types of flour that can be used with a noodle maker are:

1) Buckwheat flour, rice flour, sorghum flour, etc. These types of flours are gluten-free, and they do not hold well on their own and need to be mixed with plain flour or bread flour in order to produce the gluten needed to produce noodles.

Note: I personally prefer to use organic unbleached flour for my handmade noodles.
