Mixing formula ingredients is often carried out in a horizontal flour mixer for 10-15 minutes. Since the horizontal mixer seems to have better mixing results in commercial noodle production. Mixing results in the formation of a crumbly dough with small and uniform particle sizes. Since the water addition level is relatively low (vs. Bread dough), gluten development in noodle dough during mixing is minimized. This improves the dough sheet ability, sheeted dough smoothness and uniformity. Limited water absorption also slows down noodle discoloration and reduces the amount of water to be taken out during the final drying or frying processes.
