Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, xanthan gum, and salt. Whisk to blend the dry ingredients thoroughly.
Step 2
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Crack the eggs into the well, then add the olive oil and water.
Step 3
Using a fork, gently beat the eggs, then gradually incorporate the flour mixture until a shaggy dough begins to form.
Step 4
Knead the dough by hand, pressing and folding the mixture until it becomes smooth and elastic, which may take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
If the dough feels too dry, add an extra tablespoon of water. If it's sticky, sprinkle a little more flour until the desired texture is achieved.
Step 6
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flour to hydrate and makes it easier to roll out.
Step 7
After resting, divide the dough into four equal parts. Keep the pieces you are not currently using wrapped to prevent drying.
Step 8
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one piece of dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a round cutter or a knife to cut the dough into desired dumpling shapes.
Step 9
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.
Step 10
Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water. Cook them for about 3-5 minutes or until they float to the surface, indicating they are cooked through.
Step 11
Use a slotted spoon to remove the dumplings from the water, and transfer them to a warmed serving dish.
Step 12
Serve the gluten-free pasta dumplings immediately with your choice of sauce, such as marinara, pesto, or a simple butter and herb mix.
