Description
This recipe makes dumpling wrappers that are perfect for potstickers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 320 grams all-purpose flour (2 1/4 cups using dip-and-sweep method; 2 2/3 using spoon-and-sweep method)
- 175 grams (3/4 cup/175ml) very warm water (between 110ºF to 130ºF)
Instructions
- Pour all the flour and water into a mixing bowl. Use chopsticks or a wooden spoon to stir everything together until shaggy pieces of dough form.
- Gather the dough with your hands, using your fingers to dig into it to distribute moisture.
- Knead the dough on a surface for 2 to 3 minutes. It should be slightly tacky but not sticky.
- Form a smooth ball of dough and place it back in the bowl, covering it with a damp towel.
- Let the dough rest for at least 45 minutes for better texture.
- After resting, knead the dough a few times and create a hole in the center, stretching it into a ring.
- Cut the dough into a thick rope and roll it to about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
- Cut out 5 small pieces of dough, each weighing 12 to 13 grams.
- Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it into a disc about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
- Use a rolling pin to roll out each disc, rotating it 90 degrees after each roll.
- For the third roll, only roll halfway to keep the center thicker than the edges.
- For the final roll, focus on the edges, achieving a diameter of about 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 inches.
- Brush flour over the wrapper, set aside, and cover with a dry towel.
- Repeat rolling for the remaining discs and use them to make dumplings.
- To store wrappers, brush with potato or tapioca starch, stack, wrap tightly with plastic, and refrigerate or freeze.
Notes
- For larger dumplings, adjust dough piece sizes to 14 to 16 grams.
- Wraps dry out quickly; keep covered.
- For stand mixer instructions, refer to note 3.
- Allow longer resting for better dough texture.
- Keep rolling limited to 5 wrappers at a time if working alone.
