00 almond flour?
is it possible to get almond flour anywhere near 00? A smooth dough is what I’m trying to get. I don’t want a batter or anything. I’m wanting to try making pasta by adding gluten but even almond flour might be too coarse for that. Any help would be appreciated. I’ve been looking but no one seems to be trying to make almond flour the same consistency as all purpose

Almond "flour" has a lot of oil. I'm not so sure it can be made as fine as AP wheat flour. Bob's Red Mill has an Extra fine grind of almond flour HERE that gets good reviews.
Hmmm thanks anyways. I’m wondering if soaking it and drying it out will clean the oil and allow it to be mulled into a fine powder
(high fat content) would be tricky to make any kind of dough without having it come out looking anything less than marzipan (which uses sugar to glue the mass of grated nut meat together.).
You might try egg whites, beating to make stiff and fold in the nut flour. Extrude noodle shapes. Bake as a sheet and cut off pieces. Drop or extrude the mixture into boiling water or oil to set as noodles. You may still end up adding wheat flour or starch to hold the mass together.
If the only noodle ingredient is almonds. Try just steaming the nuts whole, slivered or flaked to soften and serve instead of a almond noodle. How about making slivered into "rice?"
googled "almond flour noodle recipe" and found this...

I'm not sure you need to get it that fine. Pasta is usually made with durum semolina, which is not all that fine. Sort of like fine beach sand. And none of that is detectable in the finished product.
