Homemade pasta?

[Guest guest]

What's another pasta flour someone can recommend to me here in the states,

midwest even better? I can't get egg noodle premade so that's the main one that

interests me. Where do I get pasta flour and what pasta machines would you

recommend if any?

 

Thanks so much.

Hi Karen,

 

Orgran pasta flour can be used to make all types of pasta, with or

without eggs. You don't have to have a pasta machine, it just makes it

easier and quicker.

 

I can't help with any outlets for the flour (I am in Australia not far

from the Orgran factory), but I do know you can get it online

including at Amazon.

Amber,

 

Here you go. I looked these up for you and I both. I haven't tried them yet but

they do look yummy! You are so lucky to have that pasta maker for only $20. Wish

I would have thought to get in on that store's closing sales. I didn't think I

needed anything then. Now I bought a crepe maker, rice cooker and blow torch

today for crème brulee..and this is all in just the past week!

Filo/Phyllo Dough (Try in other pastry recipes)

 

1 ¾ C fine White Rice Flour

¼ C Sweet Rice Flour

4 tsp xanthan gum

1 tsp gelatin

1 egg

¼-1/2 C milk of choice

1 stick butter, melted or margarine or oil*

1 tsp honey or agave nectar

 

1. Mix together rice flour, sweet rice flour, xanthan gum and gelatin. Make a

well in dry ingredients large enough to hold the liquids.

 

2. Lightly beat egg with ¼ C milk, butter and honey. Pour this into well in dry

ingredients. Mix everything together until you have a soft dough. (Depending on

brand of rice flour, you may want to stir in more milk)..

 

3. Wrap dough in plastic wrap until ready to use for your favorite holiday

pastry. Store in refrigerator if not using immediately.

 

*Use margarine or oil to make dairy-free dough.

 

Baklava Recipe :

Filling

4 C ground pistachios

1 C sugar

1 Tbsp cinnamon

4 Tbsp light vegetable oil

Cooking spray

 

1. Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease two 8-inch baking pans.

2. Put nuts, sugar and cinnamon into a food processor. Pulse until nuts are

finely ground with just a bit of texture.

3. Cut filo dough into 6 equal pieces. Wrap all but the piece you are working

with in plastic wrap. Roll out one piece at a time, as thinly as possible,

between two sheets of plastic wrap about 16 " long. Remove top piece of plastic

wrap. Carefully fit dough into one of pans. The piece should be large enough so

that it fits up the sides and hangs over a bit. Roll out a second piece of dough

the same way and fit it into the other pan. Sprinkle 1 C of ground nuts over the

dough in each pan. Roll out two more pieces of filo and carefully lay over the

filling. Sprinkle another cup of filling over the second layer of each pan. Roll

out last two pieces of filo and carefully cover the layer of nuts. Trim edges

that are hanging over the sides of pan. Leave enough to roll under to form an

edge.

4. Using a sharp paring knife, score the top of baklava. Cut into 1 1/2 "

lengths. Then cut 1 1/2 " widths wide, starting from one of the corners

diagonally to the opposite corner to create and diamond shape.

5. Drizzle 2 Tbsp of oil over scoring of each baklava.

6. Bake for 30 minutes or until baklava is golden. Make syrup while baklava is

baking.

 

Syrup

1 1/2 C sugar

3/4 C water

1 Tbsp lemon juice

1 3 " piece of a cinnamon stick

1 Tbsp honey or agave nectar

 

1. Put sugar, water, lemon juice and cinnamon stick into a sauce pan. Bring to a

boil. Simmer for 5 minutes.

2. Whisk in honey or agave. Set aside until baklava is finished baking.

3. Once baklava is baked, slice the scores again, cutting all the way through to

the bottom.

4. Use a spoon to drizzle syrup into the cuts.

5. Cool completely before serving.

Karen,

 

I can't use a mix (can't do legumes & there's pea flour in the Orgran

one) and don't really want to buy expensive mixes. The Tinkyada pasta

is just rice and water so I was hoping someone had successfully pulled

off an easy GF pasta recipe using something equally simple.

 

The pasta machine I got was picked up at Linens 'n Things in their going

out of business clearance. It's a VillaWare Al Dente 5-pc pasta set

(Mine was about $20, amazon has it here:

http://www.amazon.com/Villaware-Dente-Piece-Pasta-Set/dp/B000T4Z2FU). I

figured I might try it for making GF fillo or other very thin types of

dough also. I haven't started using it yet because I wanted to have a

real recipe to try first, so I don't even know how easy it is to use

although it has positive reviews at amazon.

Can that orgran pasta mix make egg noodles and is a pasta maker really needed

for making egg noodles? What's the best pasta maker for the money if I do decide

to buy one? I am in Indiana. Anyone know of where to get a good one or the pasta

mix? Whole Foods maybe?

 

Thanks,

 

Karen

I make my own pasta, mostly for ravioli, but I cheat and use the

Orgran pasta mix. I don't use a pasta machine although the

instructions on the box say you can.

Bob's Red Mill has an excellent pasta recipe that I've used for years:

 

http://www.bobsredmill.com/recipes_detail.php?rid=473

 

I've never done it as egg noodles since my son is allergic to eggs, but I don't

see why you couldn't just add egg instead of water. I use this flour mix for

almost all my baking as well.

In place of the egg, I would use 1/4 cup of a stiff vegetable puree like

sweet potato.

 

Fresh pasta made strictly with rice tends to fall apart. Rice pasta needs

to hang to dry to be useable.

Hi

I'm here because this is a vegan list, and I feel quite upset when

people post non-vegan recipes - this one contains gelatine, egg,

butter and honey.....!

I have a recipe in the Vegan Family Favorites cookbook for G-F pasta, but I

know for sure it won't work in a pasta maker!

The recipe uses rice flour, flax seed meal and tofu. I can send it along if

you're okay w/those ingredients!

Alice, I apologize for allowing non-vegan recipes to go through to the

group. As you know, I approve all messages, and have been doing that

today via my cell phone rather than on my computer while away from

home. Entire messages don't come through on my cell phone easily, and

I was trusting the comments to be on topic after reading the first

sentence or two. I will check more carefully from now on --- and

really encourage group members to keep in mind that we are a group

that caters to gluten free AND vegan cooking.

 

Much appreciation for keeping on topic!

It is a vegan list, which means no animal products including eggs and dairy, and

recipes which need adaptation should at least be noted as such.

I'm not strictly vegan but my allergies are such that most of my baking

is by necessity.

 

I am allergic to flax, eggs, soy, wheat/gluten, dairy, and tree nuts.

It's a fun world I live in!

 

 

 

[Guest guest]

I would love to see your recipe...can whole grain brown rice be used.

 

I have a question....Since we are most of us, going vegan or close,

and gluten free, am I the only one who has a problem with so many

simple carbs. So many of the recipes call for white rice flour and

starches...and those carry so little nutrition and elevate blood sugar

so quickly and cause candida to flare.

Not trying to be unkind or insulting....but eating this way is not

cheap and I like to get the most nutritional bang for my buck.

Blessings for a Happy New Year

I think we all try to find the balance with starches on a gluten-free

diet. Because you are taking out an ingredient that makes breads

rise, you end up with a very dry, dense, heavy product if you do not

use any added starches. Recipes that are still pretty light if you

use whole wheat flour are not light if you use gf whole grains. So

starches are added in to modify the texture and the moisture level.

 

Personally, we have moved away from using much breads and baking,

sticking instead to whole fruits, veggies, beans, and grains in

salads, soups, curries, chili, etc. When we use pasta, we do use

brown rice pasta, and when we serve rice, millet, quinoa, we use the

whole grain. Then when I do bake something and use a starch, I can

rest a little easier that at least it is a very minor part of our

diet.

I'm sure you can sub brown rice flour. I've made this pasta with a number of

different flours: corn, soy, besan, rice, even mostly flax seed meal, and it

always seems to work.

 It is definitely delicate and would not work in a pasta machine, but

hand-cutting works fine!

 

Bear's Gluten-Free Linguine

1/2 cup extra-firm tofu

1/2 cup rice flour

1/4 cup soy flour

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 tablespoon olive oil

water

 

Before cooking noodles, have a pot of water boiling and ready. Add some olive

oil and sea salt to water to keep the noodles from sticking.

 

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, crumble tofu with a fork. Add rice and soy flours

and mix. Add salt and olive oil and mix. Add water a tablespoon at a time until

mixture forms a dough.

Turn out dough onto a rice-floured countertop or board. Knead briefly, form a

ball and flatten into a thick disk. Wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes or even

overnight.

 

Remove dough from fridge and place on floured surface. With a rolling pin, roll

out to about 1/4-inch thick, then cut into strips (or other desired shape) with

a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Carefully lift noodles with a spatula or knife

and place in boiling water. They take just a 2-3 minutes to cook, so be ready!

 

When tender, drain noodles, sprinkle with olive oil and top with your favorite

sauce or veggies.

Makes 4 servings

FWIW, trying to replicate is a necessity for those of us feeding an

autistic or sensory-challenged child who also has food allergies. My

child only eats about 5 foods consistently, and he will starve himself

before eating something too far removed from his palate sensibilities.

Luckily, he loves broccoli. It is the only truly " healthy " thing he eats.
