Homemade Dumpling Wrappers for Wontons, Gyoza & Co

½ cups all-purpose or wheat or spelt flour

salt

water oil

flour (for dusting the work surface)

*Note: Check out the recipe video + step-by-step guide above for visual instruction!

Whisk together the flour and salt in a bowl. Pour in the hot water and mix with chopsticks until the liquid has been absorbed by the flour. Place the dough on a working surface and knead with your hands for about 3-5 minutes until a smooth and soft dough forms. Then form the dough into a ball, wrap it tightly in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes. (If making gluten-free dough continue with the next step immediately; do not chill it).

After the chill time, divide the dough into 2 or 4 pieces and wrap each piece in cling foil again. Start with one piece at a time and put the others back in the refrigerator to prevent them from drying out. Roll one piece out on a lightly floured work surface to be about 2 mm thick.

To make wonton wrappers, cut out squares with a pizza cutter (approx. 3“x3“, 7.5x7.5-cm). Or to make gyoza wrappers, cut out circles, using a round glass or cookie cutter (approx. 3-4“, 8-10-cm diameter). Use leftover dough to cut out more wrappers. Then fill and fold however you like (or stack them up for later use*).

Remove the next dough portion from the refrigerator and repeat this process to make more wrappers.

Homemade Dumpling Wrappers

300 g (2 cups) plain flour (all-purpose flour)

200 ml (3/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons) boiling water

Measure the flour and salt into the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.

Keep mixing until all of the water is incorporated.

Add more water as necessary until the mixture comes together into a dough.

Knead on low-medium speed for 5-10 minutes, or until the dough is soft and smooth.

Use your thumbs to poke a hole in the centre of the dough to create a bagel or donut shape.

Cover each piece of dough with cling film.

Set the dough aside on the kitchen counter for about 30 minutes to rest.

To Make the Dumpling Wrappers

By this stage, the dough should be moist and sticky on the surface.

Cut into the dough so that it is now a long log in shape.

Roll the dough lightly in the flour so that it is no longer sticky.

Cut small pieces from the dough, about 15 g/0.5 oz each.

Roll each piece of dough into a ball, and roll out the dough into a round shape measuring about 10 cm/4 inches in diameter.

Ideally, the edges of the dough should be thinner than the centre, but it is fine if dumpling wrapper is the same thickness all over. In which case, you could also roll out the dough into a thin sheet and use a cookie cutter to cut out rounds from the dough. You can also use a pasta machine to roll out the dough (see Kitchen Notes below).
