The last 10 or so batches of noodles ive been adding different ratios of spelt flour into my noodle recipes. I really enjoy it in the noodles but I’m not sure how I feel about the speckled look. I really like the solid clean look of no spelt or wheat etc. but then again the speckles do add a bit of character. Anyone have an opinion on this?

    Sheeted it weirds me out. My brain is telling me it’s dirt in the dough.

    Can we see some cut and in the bowl?

    I like It. Especially in a heavy broth or tsukemen, it helps the noodle make a bigger contribution to the look & texture.

    Check Ivan Orkin’s rye noodles. They’re awesome. Also my masa noodles look dope speckled.

  4. Flat noodles are okay speckly, but not curly ones imo. I’m a non-speckly gal though

  5. I have dialed in on a whole meal spelt ramen noodle that I use as a baseline for pretty much every bowl that I make.

    I was inspired by Ivan Orkin’s rye noodles and I’m a pretty big fan of the use of spelt. Gives a nice nutty/toasty aroma to the noodles.

    I find regular flour noodles a little lacking tbh. I pretty much always add some sort of alternative flour for flavour/aroma.

    Over the years, I have made a dozen types of noodles with and without the pasta maker. Double aught, cake, white and whole wheat flour.

    I admire what you have attempted here. I think all types and flavors of noodles are a challenge and I like your brown ones. I have not yet made my own Ramen noodles, but that day is approaching. I am just waiting to use up my ramen noodles supply. I have eliminated those chemical seasoning packets as my first steps.
