I had given up on coffee makers as they always seem to break (cheap or expensive). I may have to try this one

Comment on Bread Project: Csiga Noodles by Debbie

well, I tried them today. I found a “heavy duty” toothpick type stick that looked like it would work. I cut the squares too large, I think, and perhaps I didn’t roll the dough thin enough. But my biggest problem was that the dough started sticking to the stick (after a few dozen). I don’t know what I was doing different but nothing I tried would get the process back on track. I tried rolling the stick in flour first. Didn’t help. I tried adding more flour to the dough itself before rolling. It still would stick. I even tried dipping the stick in some oil but it would still stick.
Here’s my blog about my attempt: http://gardentenders.com/members/MsDebbieP/blog/2877

Knowing that the one end is closed REALLY helps! Thank you.

Debbie thanks for your comment and happy that this might help you get your csiga-biga fix Yes, the stick is a bit tapered, not to a hard point though. My grandma taught me to roll them at an angle. One end of the csiga will be closed the other open, like a Bugle (you know those corn chip snacks from way back?, like that). Let me know if you try them!
Be well, Natalie

My husband was Hungarian and when we visited family, the soup and csiga (csiga-biga as we called them) was the highlight of the meal. It has been a very long time since I have had some good Hungarian soup and csiga noodles.
I recently found, what I was told was, a csiga board at an anitque store. There was no stick with it. So I have questions.
1) is the stick tapered at the end?
2) is the goal to roll the noodles on an angle across the grooves? I only have your photo to go by on this.
I’d so love to give this a try.

Cashews instead of eggs, I am going to try this. I wonder if the kids will dig it? I still have frozen pumpkin from the Halloween jack-o-lantern.
