Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually pour in the warm water while stirring the mixture with a spoon or spatula.
Step 2: Knead the Dough
Once the mixture starts to come together, use your hands to knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky or more water if it’s too dry. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Divide the Dough
After the dough has rested, divide it into small balls, roughly the size of a ping pong ball. This will make it easier to roll out the pastry later.
Step 4: Roll out the Pastry
Dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour to prevent the dough from sticking. Take one dough ball and flatten it with your palm. Then, use the rolling pin to roll it out into a thin, circular shape. Repeat this process with the remaining dough balls.
Step 5: Cut into Pastry Sheets
Once the pastry is rolled out, use a sharp knife or pastry cutter to trim the edges and create a square or rectangular shape. Cut the pastry into sheets that are large enough to wrap your desired filling.
Step 6: Use or Store
Your spring roll pastry is now ready to be used. Place your filling of choice on each pastry sheet, wrap, and seal. Alternatively, if you want to store the pastry for future use, separate each sheet with parchment paper and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
There you have it! You’ve successfully made your own spring roll pastry from scratch. Experiment with different fillings and enjoy your homemade spring rolls crispy and delicious!
