Dough Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (such as canola or sunflower oil)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add warm water and the vegetable oil while stirring to form a rough dough.
  2. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead vigorously for about 8 to 10 minutes until it becomes smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky but not sticky.
  3. Rest the Dough: Shape the dough into a ball, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This resting period allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll out and shape.

Notes

  • Use warm water to help the dough come together more easily.
  • Resting the dough is crucial for a tender texture and easier handling.
  • Adjust flour as needed depending on humidity and flour brand to achieve a smooth, non-sticky dough.
  • This dough can be boiled or pan-fried once filled.
  • If desired, add a teaspoon of sugar for a slightly softer dough and to balance flavors.
  • Store unused dough wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze for extended storage.
