In collaboration with Coop Boomerang, a company dedicated to fighting food waste, we've innovated to increase the fiber content of our wonton wrapper recipe. We replace 15% of our regular flour with malted flour, obtained from the malting of grains used in brewing beer. This change not only adds fiber but also imparts a unique and delicately sweet flavor to our wontons. Malted flour is particularly rich in fiber, and its production preserves the essential nutrients of the grain.

Portion
4 (35-40 wontons)
Ingredients
- 275 g (about 2 cups) all-purpose wheat flour
- 45 g (about ⅓ cup) malted flour (Boomerang brand)
- 175 g (¾ cup) hot (almost boiling) water
- Cornstarch or tapioca flour, as needed
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose wheat flour and malted flour.
- Pour in the hot water and mix until the dough becomes granular.
- On a clean work surface, knead the dough for 2-3 minutes.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 45 minutes.
- After resting, knead again for 30-60 seconds and form a ring by making a hole in the center of the dough.
- Divide the dough into pieces of 12-14 g (about 1 tbsp) each.
- Shape each piece into balls, then flatten them into 3-4 cm diameter disks using a rolling pin.
- Lightly sprinkle each disk with flour to prevent sticking.
- Fill and fold in half, ensuring the edges are well sealed. Here's a vegetarian filling recipe that you might like!
