Make the best lasagna from scratch starting with this homemade gluten-free lasagna noodles recipe. These noodles are soft, yet sturdy, and have the same great taste and texture as regular pasta!
300grams2 ¼ cups Gluten-free 1:1 Flour Blend, Cup4Cup Multipurpose, Caputo Fioreglut, or King Arthur Measure for Measure recommended.
½teaspoontable salt
2large whole eggs
3large egg yolks
plus enough water to equal 185 grams or ¾ cup total liquid.
Instructions
To Make the Dough by Hand
In a large bowl, whisk the flour and salt together.
Add the eggs and yolks to the measuring cup. Then add enough water to equal ¾ cup of total liquid. Whisk the eggs and water to combine.
Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the egg mixture. Starting in the center and working out, stir the flour into the eggs.
When the flour is mostly incorporated, dump the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface or parchment paper. Knead the dough until it comes together into a stiff but smooth ball.
-If the dough is very sticky, knead in more flour.-If the dough is crumbly and won't hold together after kneading, knead in additional water a few drops at a time.-The dough should be firm, smooth, and soft, like a stiff ball of play dough.
Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes up to overnight.
To Make Lasagna Sheets by Hand
Take ¼ of the dough and place on a lightly floured surface. (Keep the rest of the dough wrapped to prevent it from drying out.)
Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out as the dough as thinly as possible into a long rectangle, about ⅛ - ¼ inch thick. Use a sprinkle of flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Cut the rectangle into shorter pieces that will fit in your desired pan.
Place the dough on a tray and cover with plastic wrap. Repeat these steps with remaining dough.
Once finished, you can prepare lasagna immediately or store in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped, for up to 3 days. Pre-cook hand-rolled noodles for 2-3 minutes in boiling water before assembling the lasagna.
