Recipe

Ingredients for 8 people (a nest of noodles per person):

200 g of Verna type 1 soft wheat flour
70 g of egg whites (2 egg whites)
60 g of extra virgin olive oil (3 tablespoons)
60 g of coconut sugar
1 g of cinnamon

10 g of grated untreated lemon zest
2 g of vanilla bean seeds
8 g of baking powder
Cold water as required and if needed

Method:

Preheat the oven to 150 ° C static mode. Reduce into powder the coconut sugar in a blender and set aside 10 g in a bowl.

On a pastry board arrange the flour, 50 g of icing coconut sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, cinnamon, yeast and mix everything evenly.

Add the EVO oil, kneading the mixture, so that the oil is evenly distributed.

Create a fountain and in the center put the beaten egg whites slightly. Knead until a smooth and homogeneous mixture is obtained, adding a little cold water if necessary.

With a rolling pin, pull the sheet about 3 millimeters high. Leave the dough to rest for about 30 minutes and then cut it to obtain the noodles 3-5 mm wide.

On a baking plate, already covered with parchment paper, form 8 nests of noodles of equal size.

Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Once baked, sprinkle the nests with the icing coconut sugar that you had kept aside.
