I use mixture of unbleached white and whole wheat bread. We love them. I usually freeze them as it's not so critical that they're totally dry.<br />Just discovered this site through OTGN. Definitely will bookmark and be back. Haven't time to read all right now.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07889385786262311973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-572845064353806814.post-60557731821625383342010-12-28T18:14:54.874-05:002010-12-28T18:14:54.874-05:00Noodles kept dry and in an airtight container have...Noodles kept dry and in an airtight container have lasted indefinitely. If you're worried about them being made with raw eggs, you could use them right away, refrigerate for a day or so before using, or even freeze them. I usually use them up pretty quickly. This makes a nice pot of noodles, about 2 quarts worth (at least). I cut mine to the length I want right over the pot as it is boiling. They will look a bit different from the store bought when dried, as the store bought is usually made with durum wheat. Depending on what you use for flour it will look different. I would have to say that they are a bit more brittle than store bought, so putting them into a Rubbermaid type container would be good if you are planning on keeping them long. I usually break mine into a medium size noodle to avoid that and keep them in a air tight container or freezer bag. Hope this helps you some. I hope you enjoy the recipe.

I have some questions for you! How long do the noodles last? How do you preserve them? Do they dry and look similar to store bought, or is it completely different?

I didn't think I'd actually get one but all the parts could be found at a Michaels or Lowes. The base is a wooden plaque, a wooden ball and a thick 1" dowel with holes drilled through it for six 1/4" dowels that are about 15" long each. On top is another wooden ball for decoration. all held together by 2 long screws.dontfencemein1979https://www.blogger.com/profile/18317791989209512204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-572845064353806814.post-9497334521877445322010-12-19T19:57:26.769-05:002010-12-19T19:57:26.769-05:00Where did your BIL find that beautiful drying rack...Where did your BIL find that beautiful drying rack for your noodles?!
