• Mix the gluten free bread flour, xanthan gum and tapioca flour together in a large mixing bowl until fully combined.
• In a separate small bowl or jug, add the eggs and egg yolk (keep the egg white to make my gluten free prawn toast!) and whisk lightly with a fork until combined.
• Gradually add a little of the egg mixture to the flour mixture, using a wooden spoon to bring it together. Once you've added all the egg and the dough is starting to come together properly, add the olive oil.
• Keeping beating with a wooden spoon until the dough becomes thick and sticky. Turn it out onto a piece of clingfilm wrap tightly and leave to rest at room temperature for around 15-20 minutes.
• After the dough has rested, lightly flour the worktop with a little of the gluten free bread flour and then turn the dough out onto it. It will still be very sticky, so lightly flour your hands and then knead the dough into a ball. Try not to add too much flour - just enough so that it forms a smooth ball.
• Flatten the ball a little with your hands then cut the dough into 4 equal portions. Generously flour the work surface with more gluten free bread flour and place one portion down on it - you can wrap the extra portions in clingfilm to stop them drying out.
• Roll the piece of dough into a long rectangle, around 2mm thick, turning it over regularly to ensure both sides are well floured and do not stick. It should be easy to roll and handle.
• Trim any rough edges then use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the rectangle into long ribbons, ideally a couple of mm thick. Don't worry too much about them being exactly straight and even - just call it rustic!
• Once you've cut all the ribbons, gather the noodles up gently with your hands, dust with a little extra flour then place on a floured surface in a nest. Repeat until you have cut all the noodles.
• Leave the noodle nests to rest for 10-15 minutes to dry slightly.

To cook the noodles

• When you're ready to cook the noodles, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. It MUST be boiling before you add the noodles, as with all gluten free pasta or noodles!
• Carefully lower the noodles into the pan and bring back to the boil. Cook for around 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the noodles don't stick. Strain and then add them to your sauce straight away, stir frying for another minute or so before serving hot.
