How to make noodles? How to make noodles more gluten? We often make noodles ourselves at home. They taste good and there is no edible glue. How can we make noodles more chewy?
Method: add salt to the dough.
The main principle is that salt can promote the formation of a network of proteins in flour, and at the same time make the water distribution more uniform, so that the noodles will be gluten.
However, the more salt, the better. On the one hand, excessive salt (more than 3%) will affect the water distribution, hinder the formation of gluten network and reduce the quality of noodles.
On the other hand, high salt diet is harmful to health and increases the risk of hypertension. So, the heavy taste guy has to be merciful.
