Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine Caputo “00” Chef’s Flour and water. Stir with a spatula until the dough comes together and there are no visible pockets of flour or water.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes, until you achieve a smooth, cohesive dough ball.
- Return the dough to the mixing bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, knead the dough again until it is smooth. Place it back in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for an additional hour.
- Lightly dust your counter with Caputo “00” Chef’s Flour and place the dough on top.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions, keeping the portions you are not currently working with covered to prevent drying.
- Roll each portion into a log long enough to cut into 8 even pieces.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten each piece into a disc, rotating 90 degrees each time to ensure a round shape. Use flour to prevent sticking, and repeat until you have 32 dumpling discs.
- Keep the discs covered to prevent them from drying out. You can also dust them with flour, stack them evenly, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for up to 2-3 months.
- Prepare dumplings with the filling of your choice, we recommend shrimp. Steam or fry, serve and enjoy!
