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