Now, if you have a stand mixer with a dough attachment, pull that out onto the bench. If you don't, don't stress, you can still follow the recipe – you're just going to need some hand-eye coordination and a little more time.
Start with 350g of flour in your mixing bowl, along with a pinch of salt.
Next, you're going to need 245g of boiling water. If you ever need to adjust the recipe measurements, always remember that you need 70 per cent of the weight of flour in boiling water.
Then, steadily pour your boiling water into the flour mixture while kneading on low setting with your mixer, or slowly by hand.
Once the water and flour are combined, pick the speed up to high and knead until tacky. For those using a mixer, this should take just a few minutes but if you're working by hand you'll probably need another 15 minutes.
Then, flip your dough out onto the bench in a ball and rub a tiny pinch of oil around the outside, then place in a bowl, cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
Simply cover and let the dough rest for a while. Nine
Now, we're at the fun part.
Here's where you get to decide what you want to make! De Silva shares her four favourite ways to use the dough; noodles, roti, tortillas and dumplings.
For noodles all you need to do is cut the dough into slices, cover in oil and let it rest again and then slowly it pull apart while slapping against a hard surface.
Next, just pop it in boiling water and you've got delicious biang biang noodles.
