ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons canola oil, plus more for brushing
Method
Step 1
Place the flour in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the warm water and oil into the well and stir the flour into the water with a pair of chopsticks or flexible spatula, working from the outside in. Mix until the water has been absorbed and the dough is shaggy. Knead the dough with your hands for 5 minutes, until you have a smooth ball.
Step 2
Lightly brush a medium bowl with oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl, toss to coat, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Step 3
Cut eight 9-inch squares of parchment paper.
Step 4
On a lightly floured surface, unwrap the dough and divide it into 16 equal portions with a bench scraper (for accuracy, weigh with a digital scale if you have one). Form each piece into a smooth ball. Dust the dough with more flour to prevent sticking. Flatten two pieces of dough with the palm of your hand into 3-inch rounds. Brush the surface of one dough round with oil, up to the edges. Stack the other dough round on top and gently press down to flatten the dough. Roll out the two dough layers into an 8-inch round. Place on a sheet of parchment paper. Repeat with remaining dough to form eight stacked rounds.
Step 5
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. When the skillet is warm, flip one dough round into the skillet and peel away the parchment paper. Cook until the underside is blistered, with golden brown spots, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the underside is blistered golden brown spots, 1 minute. (The dough may puff up and then deflate.) Stack the cooked moo shu wrappers on a plate and continue to cook the remaining dough rounds.
Step 6
Peel apart each set of wrappers and serve them warm with your choice of filling.
