Making homemade dumplings is easy to master. Global Dumpling Recipes From Pierogi to Gyoza to Empanadas Ingredients 1½ cups all-purpose flour ½ cup water Directions Place the flour in a medium bowl. Slowly add the warm water and mix until a smooth dough forms. If dough seems sticky, add a bit more flour (start with 2 Tbsp. and go up to ½ cup total if needed); mix again until the dumpling wrapper dough is smooth. Test Kitchen Tip: You can substitute whole wheat flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend for the all-purpose flour, but you might need to add 1 to 2 Tbsp. additional water to reach the desired consistency. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes. Cover the dumpling wrapper dough and let it rest for 2 minutes. Lightly flour the work surface again. Uncover the dough and divide into 24 portions; roll the dough portions into balls. With a lightly flour-dusted rolling pin, roll the dough balls to desired thickness. Test Kitchen Tip: Dumpling wrappers can vary in thickness depending on the region of origin. For thin wrappers, roll to 1/16 inch thick. For thick wrappers, roll to 1/8 inch thick, and for medium roll halfway between the two measures. Using a round cutter or drinking glass, cut each into a 3½-inch circle and trim excess dough from edges (do not stack the cutouts). Reroll scraps if you need more than 24 wrappers. If you don't plan on using the wrappers right away, cut 4-inch squares of parchment paper and stack the wrappers between the pieces of parchment. Place the dumpling wrappers in an airtight container and store in the freezer until ready to use. Thaw at room temperature 30 to 60 minutes before using.
