The Best gluten free wonton wrapper recipe

I have been working on this gluten free wonton wrapper recipe for a while now, and I am so happy to share it. My kids love wontons, but since we have some gluten sensitivities in the house, I needed a wrapper that actually holds together and tastes good. This recipe is a game changer for us. It is perfect for making wonton soup, fried wontons, or even just freezing a batch for quick dinners. The texture is just right, and you would never know they are gluten free. It is a real win for anyone who misses that chewy, delicate wrapper. This recipe is also great because it is made with simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry, and it is a healthier alternative to store bought wrappers that can be full of additives. So whether you are cooking for a special occasion or just a regular weeknight meal, these wonton wrappers are a fantastic choice.

🥘Ingredients

For the Wrappers

1 cup gluten free all purpose flour blend
1/2 cup tapioca starch
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup warm water, plus more if needed

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, and salt.
2Make a well in the center and add the beaten egg and warm water. Stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, add another tablespoon of warm water until it comes together.
3Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (use more gluten free flour) and knead gently for about 2-3 minutes until smooth. The dough should be soft and not sticky.
4Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or cover with a damp towel and let it rest for 15 minutes. This helps the flours hydrate.
5Divide the dough into two portions. Roll one portion out into a thin sheet, about 1/16 inch thick, using a rolling pin. Keep the other portion covered.
6Cut the rolled dough into 3.5 inch squares using a knife or pizza cutter. Repeat with the remaining dough.
7Use the wrappers immediately, or place them between layers of parchment paper and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.

📝Notes

For best results, use a good quality gluten free all purpose flour blend that contains rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca starch. If the dough cracks while rolling, it may be too dry; add a tiny bit of water and knead again. The wrappers can be boiled, steamed, or fried.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Gluten Free Wonton Wrappers

1. Can I use a different gluten free flour blend?

Yes, you can try other blends, but results may vary. A blend with a mix of rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca starch works best for a pliable wrapper. Avoid using a single flour like almond or coconut flour as they will not create the right texture.

2. Why does my dough keep cracking?

If your dough is cracking, it is likely too dry. Try adding a little more warm water, one teaspoon at a time, until the dough becomes smooth and pliable. Also, make sure you let the dough rest for the full 15 minutes so the flours can fully hydrate.

3. Can I make these wrappers ahead of time?

Absolutely. You can make the wrappers, cut them, and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just make sure to layer them with parchment paper so they do not stick together. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.

4. Are these wrappers suitable for frying?

Yes, these wrappers are great for frying. They get crispy and golden brown. Just make sure the oil is hot enough (around 350°F) so the wontons cook quickly and do not absorb too much oil.

5. How do I prevent the wrappers from sticking together?

Dust the wrappers lightly with cornstarch or tapioca starch as you roll and cut them. When stacking, place a piece of parchment paper between each layer. This will keep them from sticking and make them easy to separate.
