How to Make It
Step 1
Combine the ground flaxseed and warm water in a small dish. Set this mixture aside for 5 minutes until it thickens and congeals a little. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour the apple cider vinegar in the well. Pour your congealed flax seed in the well too, and move the dry ingredients over the wet.
Step 2
Use a large wooden spoon to stir the ingredients together, as the dough will be very sticky. You shouldn’t need to add any more water, but you may if your dough seems dry. Transfer the dough to a piece of plastic wrap, and use the plastic to press the dough into a flat rectangular shape. Wrap the dough, and store it in your refrigerator for 1 hour to chill. When the dough is firm enough to roll out, lay down a sheet of parchment paper and dust it with a Keto-friendly flour.
Step 3
Gently roll the dough out to no thicker than ¼-inch. Remember, there’s no gluten in the dough, so it will have very little elasticity. Once the dough is rolled out, slice it into long, ½”-wide noodles. Carefully transfer the noodles on the parchment paper to a plate or tray to store in your refrigerator. Leave them to dry out overnight or for a total of 24 hours. After 24 hours, you can store the raw noodles in a container for up to 3 days or continue following the directions to cook them.
Step 4
Bring a pot of water to a boil on your stove. It’s recommended that you salt the water, but this is optional. Wait until the water is at a rolling boil, then add the noodles from your refrigerator to the water. They will only need to cook for about 60 seconds, then immediately remove the noodles from the water with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving plate. The noodles may break into halves, but they shouldn’t lose their integrity or shape. Serve them with your favorite Keto vegan pasta sauce.
