Gluten-Free Vegan Wonton wrappers can be even easier with a stand mixer and/or pasta machine. Mix the dough in the stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, and use the pasta roller to roll out thin sheets of dough. No matter how you make them, homemade wonton wrappers are always a delicious and impressive addition to any meal.

Tips for Working with Gluten-Free Vegan Wonton Wrappers

Here are a few tips and tricks to remember to ensure that your dumplings, egg rolls, and other dishes turn out perfectly.

• Keep the dough at room temperature: Wonton wrappers are easier to work with when they are at room temperature. Let the dough sit out for a few minutes before rolling it out if it feels cold and stiff.
• Cover the dough: When you’re not working with it, use a damp towel or plastic wrap to cover the dough to prevent it from drying.
• Use extra flour: Dust your work surface and rolling pin with extra flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
• Don’t overfill the wrappers: It’s tempting to stuff your dumplings or egg rolls full of filling, but overfilling can cause the wrappers to break or tear. A good rule of thumb is to use about a teaspoon of filling per wrapper.
• Seal the wrappers well: Use a little water or a Just Egg and plant-based milk mixture to seal the edges of the wonton wrapper and prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
• Cook the wrappers in small batches: When cooking dumplings or potstickers, cook them in small batches to prevent them from sticking.

How to Make Gluten-Free Vegan Wonton Wrappers

Making gluten-free, vegan wonton wrappers from scratch is surprisingly simple and requires just a few basic ingredients. With some patience and practice, you can create delicious wontons that are allergen free and satisfy your taste buds!

Sift Together the Ingredients

First, sift all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. This will ensure there are no lumps or clumps. In the dry ingredients, I’ve included some of my homemade Dough Enhancer and Bread Conditioner. This will help make the dough pliable and sturdy enough to fold into dumplings and wontons. If you don’t have all of the ingredients to make the full recipe for the enhancer/conditioner, I’ve included the most important ingredients of it in the recipe below. Alternatively, sift the ingredients together in the bowl of a stand mixer and use it to knead the dough instead of doing it by hand.

Make Your Own Dough Enhancer and Bread Conditioner with this Recipe

This dough enhancer and bread conditioner works really well in recipes that use gluten-free flour. You can make it ahead of time in a large amount or use the individual ingredients when you like. It helps gluten-free dough stay pliable and flexible. Just click the link above to see the recipe. If you don’t have all of the ingredients, just use the ones you do have.

Add the Water

Gradually add in the water, stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for a few minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Rest the Dough

Once the dough is kneaded well, wrap it in cling wrap and allow it to sit for a half hour or so. This lets all the dry ingredients completely soak up the water and become hydrated. It will make the dough more pliable.

Roll Out the Dough

Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to about 1/16″ thick on a surface lightly dusted with cornstarch. Pick up and turn the dough occasionally to keep it a uniform thickness. Also, keep both sides of the dough lightly dusted with cornstarch to prevent any sticking. Alternatively, use a pasta maker to roll the wonton dough for even fast results.

Cut the Dough into Squares (or Circles!)

This is pretty easy. Just cut the thinly rolled dough into 3″ to 4″ squares. Use a round cookie cutter or glass to cut rounds if desired.
