Description

Making dumpling wrappers from scratch has never been easier. This recipe makes high-quality homemade dumpling wrappers for any filling or folding technique.


Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 egg (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Add water, oil, and egg. Stir well with a spatula until no dry flour is visible. Make sure to scrape off any remaining flour off the sides of the bowl.
  3. Transfer the dough onto a clean and dry surface. Knead the dough until it turns into a soft and smooth dough ball, about 10 minutes. You can also knead the dough on medium speed in a stand mixer for 10 minutes until smooth.
  4. Cover the dough with plastic cling wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  5. Use a bench scraper or knife to divide the dough into 4 pieces. Lightly flour a clean surface and a rolling pin. Take one piece of dough at a time and use a rolling pin to roll it out to 1/16-inch thickness.
  6. Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut out circles from the dough. Repeat with the remaining dough balls. 
  7. Combine the scraps into one dough ball and re-roll and repeat until all the dough is used up.
  8. Use the wrappers immediately to prevent them drying out. To store, place in a floured sealable container or ziploc bag for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.

Notes

How to store: Store uncooked dumpling wrappers in a floured, sealed bag for up to two days in the refrigerator. Once they have been used to wrap dumplings and cooked, they can be stored longer — up to 3-7 days in the refrigerator, depending on the filling used in the recipe. Check specific dumpling recipe for full storing instructions.

How to freeze: Uncooked wrappers will dry out in the freezer on their own, but you can freeze then once they have been used to wrap dumplings. Place them in a parchment-lined baking pan in a single layer. Freeze for an hour until hard and then transfer to a freezer bag to store for up to 3 months.
