Egg Roll Wrappers

We have been doing a lot of cooking at home since Covid-19 has changed our world.  To be honest, we were cooking a lot from home way before that as well!  We had some leftover grilled chicken that I wanted to us in something different.  So we made southwestern egg rolls.  Of course, we didn't have egg roll wrappers, so I used a few recipes and made my own!  

Egg Roll Wrappers

Ingredients:

2 Cups of Flour
1/2 tsp of Salt
2 eggs
1/3-1/2 of Water 

Directions:

1.  In your stand mixer, place everything but the water in your bowl and mix with the dough hook.  
2. Slowly add the water until a ball of the dough is formed.  
3. Mix for 4-5 minutes until the dough has come together and has a good elastic stretch to it. 
4. Let the dough rest for 20 minutes.
5.  Using your pasta roller, roll out your dough (I cut mine into fourths).  Roll them out to as thin as they will go without breaking.  For me that was a 5 on my hand roller pasta machine!
6.  Make sure that you flour them well if you are going to stack them.
7. Fill with your fillings.
8. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes (watch to make sure they are getting nice at brown); you can also spray them with a cooking spray to help with coloring!


I got 16-18 egg rolls out of the recipe.
