Spelt flour is a nutritious substitute.

Use 1 cup of bread flour and 1 cup of all-purpose flour in a mixing bowl.

Add a pinch of salt to the flour mixture.

Make a well in the center of the flour and drop 1 egg into it.

Gradually add water, starting with 1/2 cup, as needed to form a thick dough.

Knead the dough until it is thick and dense, ensuring it is not too soft or doughy.

Separate the dough into two pieces and spread flour on the counter to prevent sticking.

Roll out the dough as thin as possible, aiming for paper-thin consistency.

Stretch the rolled dough by hand to achieve the desired thinness, similar to pizza dough.

Dust the stretched dough with flour to prevent sticking.

Roll the dough up tightly and slice it into noodles of desired thickness.

Drop the sliced noodles into boiling water for 1.5 to 2 minutes.

Add olive oil and salt to the boiling water before adding the noodles.

After cooking, strain the noodles and drizzle with olive oil before serving.
