Ingredients
3 cups Flour (420 grams)1 cup Water
1⁄2 teaspoon Salt
Directions
- Mix a small pinch of salt with flour, dig a hole in center and then stir the water in. Mix the flour with water with chopsticks during the process so you can adjust the water amount, if necessary.
- Then knead the dough for 8-10 minutes with a stand mixer or by hand until the dough is almost smooth. Cover and rest for 15 minutes. Then reknead the dough for 2-3 minutes so we can get a very smooth dough. Cover and continue resting for 1 hour.
- Dig a small hole in the center of the ball. Shape it to a large circle round. Cut so we will end up a long log.
Shape the log around 3 cm in diameter. Divide the long log into small dumpling dough pieces (each around 10g). Dust each of them so they will not stick together.
- Before rolling out your dumpling wrappers, dust your working surface again. Take one piece of dough and press it to a round disc. Rotate the wrapper when moving your rolling pin. Repeat the process, rotate the wrapper-roll and rotate the wrapper-roll. The wrappers will have thicker center and thinner edges naturally.
- This process might be quite difficult at the very beginning. Just keep trying. You will end up with perfect homemade dumpling wrappers.
