How to make wonton wrappers for chicken wontons
The dough for the wontons is very much same to the dough of
bread. First take flour in a bowl. Add egg, salt, in it and twist it until the smooth dough is ready.
Let the dough to set for 20 minutes and twist it again to make
perfect dough.
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Take one portion
from dough and flat it with a rolling pin. You’ll get big circular bread.
Now take a knife and cut edges of circle that it becomes a big
square.
Next you cut the big square into four equal squares.
From here, you get four wonton wrappers. Repeat the process
and make wonton wrappers with all dough.
If you want a bigger wonton then simply take a smaller portion of dough and leave with one big square instead of dividing it into four small squares. For me I always take bigger portion and make 4 wonton wrappers of 4 cm each side mostly.
