WONTON DOUGH RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Sift flour, cornstarch and salt into a bowl, and make a well in the middle.
• Add the egg and pour in the water.
• Mix the egg and water into the flour mixture with a spoon.
• When this all binds together, scrape the spoon clean, and use your hands to work the dough into a smooth ball, leaving the bowl as free of the mix as possible.
• Knead the dough on a clean surface until it's very smooth.
• Cut the dough in half and wrap both portions in plastic wrap.
• Set aside for 15-30 minutes.
• Roll out one portion at a time.
• Dust work surface and rolling pin lightly with cornstarch, then roll out dough until thin and even.
• Either cut into squares, or use a circle cutter for dim sum and dumplings.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat the egg. Mix in the water.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center of the mixture and slowly pour in the egg and water. Mix well. If the mixture is too dry, increase the amount of water one teaspoon at a time until a pliable dough has formed.
• On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until elastic. Cut dough into two separate balls. Cover the balls with a damp cloth for a minimum of 10 minutes.
• Cut each ball into four equal pieces. Roll the pieces into 10 1/2 by 10 1/2 inch squares. Cut each into nine 3 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch squares. Use in any recipe that calls for wonton wrappers.
