TJ says,
This dough is super easy to work with!We have found the thinner we roll the dough the better we like it for steamed or pan-fried dumplings. For crab rangoon, etc. we’re okay with the dough being a bit thicker. These are pork and chive. We also do veggie, shrimp, etc.The key is to make sure the veggies (cabbage, zucchini, etc.) are salted and *all* excess liquid is squeezed out. Same goes for tofu. Cheesecloth is your friend.
Gluten Free Wonton Wrapper Recipe
Gluten Free Wonton Wrapper Recipe
The gluten free wonton wrapper you've been waiting for! Read the comments ... please use gfJules Flour for best results!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (135 grams) gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- ¼ tsp. sea salt
- 1 egg + 1 egg white
- 2 Tbs. water
Instructions
Whisk together flour and salt in a small bowl; in a separate bowl combine the eggs and water. Slowly stir the egg mixture into the flour with a fork and mix until a sticky dough forms.
Divide the dough in half and cover one half while working with the other.
Prepare a clean counter or pastry mat by generously flouring with more gluten free flour. Flour a rolling pin as well, then turn one half of the dough out onto the floured mat and roll gently in each direction until the dough is evenly thinned, almost so thin you can see through it.
Measure 4 ½ - 5 inch squares and cut with a pastry cutter or butter knife. Layer each square on top of each other on a plate and cover with a damp tea towel while preparing the remaining dough. Re-roll the dough scraps to create more wrappers, so that all the dough is used to make approximately 10 wonton wrappers.
Use wrappers in your recipe before they dry out, or cover and refrigerate for 3-5 days until ready to use in your recipe. They will get somewhat more fragile with refrigeration, so bring to room temperature before rolling and spritz with more water if necessary.
Makes 10 wonton wrappers; recipe is easily doubled.
Pin for later!
I am always searching for gluten free recipes. I have lived in many countries, searching for ingredients. I have some gals coming over tomorrow to test gluten free pot stickers.
I can’t wait to hear what you all think, Joanne! What else have you tried with my gfJules flour? I hope you’re trying all kinds of different recipes — you sound like the kind who would!
Happy baking!

Help! I tried making 2 different times and I am able to roll out fine but when I try to roll up like an egg roll it falls apart. I am not sure what I am doing wrong???
Hi Jeanne, maybe you’re rolling the dough a bit too thin? If so, then with filling they may break when rolled. Make sure the dough is still wet too; sometimes when sitting out while you roll the rest of the dough, the squares can dry out and become fragile so you could spritz them with water to keep them fresh.

I don’t have your gluten free flour, not available in my country. Can I use Bob Red Mill?
Hi MS – I haven’t worked with that flour. If it’s the bean flour version, I wouldn’t recommend it. You could also have a look at the homemade flour recipe I share in this article. I hope that helps and that you’re able to make this great recipe!
~jules
The Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 should work for this recipe. I have had good results with it, but GF Jules is still my favorite.
Can these be fried to make crispy strips that you would top a soup with?
Ooooh I love that idea, Lisa! I’m sure they could but I haven’t tried it yet. Let me know if you do first!!
~jules
What am I doing wrong?? It just sticks I can’t get it to work no matter how much flour I use. I’m so frustrated I’ve never had this kind of problem with baking anything
Hi Chelsey, I’m sorry you’re having trouble with this recipe. What gluten-free flour are you using? Did you make any other ingredient substitutions?
~jules
Try using cornstarch to roll out…
Hello Jules,
Do you have any easy recipes for coconut flour?
Where can I buy theseverything flours ?
Hi Andy, my gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour is available right here on my site, along with my mixes, books, ebooks and some favorite baking accessories. Here is the link to my flour and you can shop for anything you like in the shop tab. We deliver right to your door!
Happy baking!

Can you use any gluten free flour?
Hi Tiffany, great question, tough answer. All gluten free flour blends are SO very different. Mine has some stretch to it which makes rolled dough recipes like this one much easier. Also, there’s no grit, it’s not gummy and it doesn’t have a funny aftertaste. So, the results pictured are what you get with my flour. Other flours may require more liquid, may be more fragile and might not taste as good in the finished product, so just know if you try it with another flour and it doesn’t turn out so well, you can always make it just right by using my flour blend instead next time. Here’s some more information on different gluten free flours. I hope that helps!

I just used this recipe to make crab Rangoon, something I have dearly missed. The wrappers were excellent! The dough was so easy to roll out. The only trouble I had was when I put the second batch in the oil. They burst and the filling oozed out. Do you think I left them sitting uncovered too long? I covered the other half of the dough when I was rolling them out, but once made, I didn’t cover them while they waited to be fried.
I’m so happy you tried the wonton dough to make crab rangoons! That’s definitely not something you’ll find on a gluten free menu!
The key with them not coming open when boiling is to wet the edges of the dough and press them together well … and to cover them so they don’t dry out before boiling. Sometimes I’ve gotten a little overzealous with my fillings as well, and they’ve come open if they’re over stuffed. This is just an excuse for you to have to try the recipe again, right? 😉

Can you make this recipe with an egg substitute? My son is allergic to eggs and we find that at times when we substitute and egg replacer for dough for various recipes and batters do not come out right.
Hi Lisa, I don’t recommend an egg sub in this recipe, actually. But you can use my egg-free ravioli recipe with great success! Hope that helps you enjoy your favorite fillings again!
~jules
My daughter isn’t allergic to chicken eggs but can have duck eggs (not uncommon with an egg allergy). We have used duck eggs in all of her gf baking with great success.
Here is an egg free Gluten Free wonton wrapper recipe.
Love your recipes! I am so excited to see a gf wonton wrapper recipe but I’m also a vegan. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Hi Serena, glad you’re eager to make this recipe! For best results, I’d recommend going with my ravioli dough recipe which is already vegan. Follow directions for making wontons or egg rolls or potstickers, but use that gluten free ravioli recipe instead. Hope that helps!
~jules
Thanks for all your recipes!! It makes cooking gluten free sooo much easier ??
Ah, thank you so much Judy! What a sweet thing to say!! You just made my day! 🙂

Do you think the dough would work to make pierogis?
Hi Julie, you could certainly use it for pierogi, but why don’t you try my gluten-free pierogi dough recipe first? I think you’ll love the taste and texture! It’s a favorite in our house!! Let me know what you think!
~jules
Hi Jules,
Do you think this recipe would work for ravioli too?
Hi Marilyn, great question! It probably would, but I’d start with my gluten-free ravioli recipe Let first and see if you like it. It’s super easy, as well, and really makes wonderful ravioli! Let me know what you think!

I just made these. I used them to make crab ragoons, and egg rolls for our oriental meal tonight. I have to say these are DEVINE! Its the closest thing to wheat that I have made in a long time. My only problem was I didn’t roll them thin enough. Next time I will know. I will definitely file this recipe and make some ahead of time to freeze. Thank you so much for the recipe and flour. It’s makes GF living so much easier.
Tricia I’m so happy to hear that you tried the recipe! Crab rangoons and egg rolls sound like the perfect use for these wrappers – YUM! So happy you’re happy, and that my recipes and flour have helped you get back to great baking again! Thanks so much for letting me know you loved the recipe!

~jules
What a life saver! Thank you for demystifying the process. It seemed so complex but it really isn’t.
I thought so too, Elle! I was daunted at the thought of making my own wonton wrappers, but it really couldn’t be easier! Now I can’t wait to find other ways to use this easy dough! Enjoy the recipe!

Try using them to line the cups in a muffin tin and filling the “cups” you just created with: pizza ingredients,scrambled eggs and bacon bits, pot-pie filling, meat mixture(s) etc. and baking to make your own hand-held snacks or meals (depending on the size of the muffin tin cups.
This is a brilliant idea, Pat!!!

I would love to have egg-rolls again! Definitely pinning this to try out with the family! 🙂
Yay! I’m so happy this recipe will make it to your family’s dinner table, Raia! Enjoy!
