Any Home Bakers Here?

It is nice to use. I should find the flour attachment...we grind our own wheat flour and I have a huge grinder, but it needs a new bucket...Maybe I should look into the kitchen aid one. It called for 4 large eggs, and I just used my eggs. But it is dry here too. It was nothing water did not fix.

Oil is a good thing to use too if the pasta dough is too dry. Depending on what the noodles are for, a bit of olive oil is great!

One wonderful point about making your own. Everytime I buy wheat pasta it has a terrible aftertaste. I made whole wheat pasta, no aftertaste.

I considered butter. But the recipe didn't use any shortening, and I thought perhaps shortening would affect the noodles.

Water was a good choice.

My SonInLaw makes the best spinach noodles!
and I have a neighbor who grinds oatmeal to make pancakes for his boys.

Just throwing it out there

Is that Flour tip on the index?
how would you convert a recipe from cups to oz or lbs?

The European recipes--British and etc. will have everything in grams. Look for a conversion from grams to cups for flour. There is likely one for ounces too.

A bread baking book I have includes weights as well as measures for the ingredients.

Flour seems to be 1 cup = 4.5 oz. for every recipe of his I've checked
So, 2 cups of flour = 9 oz.
3 cups of flour = 13.5 oz.

You'd still want to "feel" it out and stop when your dough is the right texture.

Not quite baking, but we just got done making some of these guys. We made "hazelnut" pizzelles rather than orange.
