Kluski are Polish-style noodles, and they’re delicious in soups or served as a side dish. Here’s how to make kluski noodles from scratch.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for rolling)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2–3 tablespoons water (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough
  • Place the flour in a large mixing bowl and create a well in the center.
  • Crack the eggs into the well, add the salt, and start mixing with a fork, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges.
  • Slowly add water, a tablespoon at a time, and continue mixing until a firm dough forms. You may need slightly more or less water depending on your flour.
  1. Knead the Dough
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Knead for about 5–10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 15–20 minutes. This helps relax the dough for easier rolling.
  1. Roll and Cut
  • After resting, divide the dough in half for easier handling.
  • Roll out each half on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  • Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into thin strips about 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide and 2–3 inches long.
  1. Cook the Kluski
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Drop the kluski noodles into the boiling water in small batches, stirring to prevent sticking.
  • Cook for 3–5 minutes or until the noodles are tender. Fresh kluski noodles cook quickly, so keep an eye on them.
  • Drain and serve as desired.

Serving Suggestions

Kluski noodles are often added to soups, such as chicken broth or mushroom soup, or served as a side with butter, fresh herbs, or even sautéed onions.

Enjoy your homemade kluski!
