dumpling wraps

This recipe yields about 35 to 40 dumpling wrappers that are about 12 to 13 grams each and 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 inches in diameter, which is a good for medium-sized potstickers potstickers. If you want to make larger dumplings, aim for wrappers that are about 14 or 16 grams, and they&#x27;ll roll out to about 3 3/4 inches in diameter. This recipe will make about 30 or so large wrappers. Feel free to adjust the size of each dumpling wrapper to your liking. If you need visuals, you can reference the photos in the blog post or the video below.

How to Make Dumpling Wrappers

(320 grams) all-purpose flour

Pour all the flour and water into a mixing bowl. Use chopsticks or a wooden spoon to stir everything together. Mix until all the water is absorbed and shaggy pieces of dough start to form.

Then, use your hands to gather the dough...

Then, use your hands to gather the dough together. As you do this, dig into the dough with your fingers in a claw-like motion. This helps to distribute the moisture inside the dough. (See note 2 for stand mixer instructions.)

Take the dough out of the bowl and...

Take the dough out of the bowl and knead it on a surface for 2 to 3 minutes. The dough is slightly tacky, but not sticky. You shouldn’t need to flour the surface. If you find the dough is sticky, dust the surface with a little bit of flour and knead the flour into the dough.

After several minutes of kneading, you should get...

After several minutes of kneading, you should get a pretty smooth ball of dough. There may be some crags and dimples on the surface, but that’s okay. Place the dough into the bowl again, and cover the bowl with a damp towel or a silicone lid.

Let the dough rest. If you are pressed...

Let the dough rest. If you are pressed for time, you can start rolling out the dough into wrappers after about 20 minutes. However, I prefer a longer resting period of at least 45 minutes. The dough feels more supple when it rests longer, making the wrappers easier to roll out. (see note 3)

Take the dough out of the bowl and knead it a few times. Make a hole in the center of the dough with your finger. Then use your fingers to stretch out that hole in the center. Keep stretching out the dough and rotating it until you get a large ring. (See video below for reference.)

Cut the dough with a sharp knife or...

Cut the dough with a sharp knife or a bench scraper. You should now have a thick dough rope. Keep rolling out the rope until it is about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.

Now, cut out 5 small pieces of dough,...

Now, cut out 5 small pieces of dough, each weighing about 12 to 13 grams. This is about 1 tablespoon of dough. If you want larger dumplings, each piece of dough should be 14 to 16 grams. The dough dries out easily so put the dough rope back into the bowl and cover it again.

Take each piece of dough and roll it...

Take each piece of dough and roll it into a ball. Using the fleshy part of your palm, flatten each ball of dough into a disc, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Lightly dust each disc with flour.

Take your rolling pin into your right hand...

Take your rolling pin into your right hand and roll it over the entire surface of the disc and then roll it off. Your rolling pin never leaves the surface. Use your left and to rotate the disc 90 degrees and roll over the entire surface again. Repeat this two more times until you have rolled out the dough for two revolutions. If the disc is sticking to the rolling pin, brush it with some flour.

The third time around the wrapper, you will...

The third time around the wrapper, you will only roll over the wrapper halfway before rotating it. This ensures that the center is slightly thicker than the edges so the filling is doesn’t break through the wrapper easily. Do this for 1 to 2 revolutions around the wrapper.

For the final revolution, you will only roll...

For the final revolution, you will only roll over the edges of the dough (about 1/2 inch into the wrapper). The wrapper should be somewhere between 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 inches in diameter. If you are making larger wrappers, the wrapper should roll out to about 3 3/4 inches in diameter.

Brush some flour over the wrapper, set it...

Brush some flour over the wrapper, set it aside, and cover it with a dry towel. Roll out the 4 remaining discs. Once you’ve rolled out 5 wrappers completely, use it to make dumplings.

The dumpling wrappers form a crust easily. If...

The dumpling wrappers form a crust easily. If you are working by yourself, you don’t want to roll out more than 5 dumpling wrappers at a time.

If you want to store the wrappers for...

If you want to store the wrappers for later use, roll out the dough. Brush potato starch (or tapioca starch) over all the wrappers before stacking them up. Tightly wrap the stack of wrappers with plastic wrap. Then, transfer them into an air-tight container. You can refrigerate these for up to 2 days or freeze them for up to a month, as long as no freezer burn develops around the wrappers.

NOTES

I have a variable temperature kettle that I use to heat the water to the right temperature. You can mix cold water with boiling hot water to get the same results. Note that you'll likely need more cold water than boiling hot water. You can also run your tap at the hottest setting and use that hot water. 

In the video, I mention that the dough pieces should be between 12 to 14g for medium-sized dumplings and 14g to 16g for larger dumplings. Those are measurements that I like when I'm using the dough to make potstickers. I want the wrappers to be slightly thicker so that they can withstand the heat during the pan-frying process. It's a matter of personal preference, really. If you are making steamed or boiled dumplings, you'll probably want the dumplings skins to be thinner. For example, with xiaolongbao (小籠包/soup dumplings), I've seen many recipes recommend the wrappers to be about 9 to 10 grams each because you want the dumpling skins to be very thin. 

Also, I'm rolling out the wrappers until they're about 3.5 to 3.75 inches in diameter.

If you don't have rolling pins at all, you can use a jar to roll out the wrappers. You can also roll out sheets with a pasta machine and use a cookie cutter to cut out the shapes. The cookie cutter should be at least 3.5 inches in diameter
