After kneading the dough in the basin, let it stand for 20 minutes to make the dough "baked" (water fully permeates the flour particles). If there is too much water, the dough is soft and easy to wrap, but it is easy to break when cooked; On the other hand, if there is less water and the surface is hard, it takes a lot of trouble to roll the skin and wrap it. A good taste generally requires the dough to be hard, and there is a saying that soft cakes are hard to jiaozi. Leather making: 2. Rolling: Put the baked dough on the chopping board and knead it into a cylindrical strip with a diameter of 2-3 cm. Pull (or cut) the column into a small piece about 1.5 cm-the agent. Squeeze the medicine by hand. Then roll it with a rolling pin into a dumpling wrapper with a moderate diameter (4-7 cm) and a thickness of about 0.5- 1 mm, with a slightly thicker central part. When rolling leather, sprinkle some dry surface (floating surface) on the chopping board to prevent it from sticking to the board. Because rolling skin takes a long time, many handmade noodle shops today sell dumpling skins made by machines. Using machine-made dumpling wrappers usually need to be dipped in water by hand to knead. 3. Pinch: Rolling dumpling wrappers with a rolling pin seems to be a part of urban culture. In rural areas, most of them are pinched by hand. When kneading, first knead the medicine into a flat circle, and then knead it with both hands and fingers while rotating. After kneading, the skin is bowl-shaped (while the rolled skin is flat) and has less dry noodles, so it is easier to wrap. The disadvantage is that it takes more time to knead the skin than to roll it.
