Want to know how to make dough for manti? If you follow a few simple rules and tips and pick the right manti dough recipe with a photo, the result will please you. Always start by prepping your ingredients: take the eggs, milk, kefir, sour cream, and butter out of the refrigerator ahead of time — everything your recipe calls for. Let them sit until they reach room temperature. Set up your work area and a handy bowl for kneading the dough.
The five most commonly used ingredients in manti dough recipes:
| Product | Calories per 100g | Protein g per 100g | Fats g per 100g | Carbohydrates g per 100g |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flour | 325 | 12 | 1 | 67 |
| Wheat flour | 325 | 12 | 1 | 67 |

| Sunflower oil | 898 | 0 | 99.9 | 0 |
| Butter | 734 | 0.5 | 82.5 | 0.8 |
Whatever ingredients go into it, remember to mix the wet ones first, then add the sifted flour in small portions. Stir with a spatula or whisk in a clockwise direction while the dough is still runny. As soon as it starts to thicken, work with oiled hands, gathering your manti dough from the edges toward the center. A recipe with photos will walk you through the process step by step in more detail.
Be sure to knead the dough by hand for at least fifteen minutes. It will come out more tender, pliable, and elastic — and it will be easier and more pleasant to shape manti from it. When you're done, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and keep it in a cool place for half an hour. Then knead it again for five minutes. Now you can start shaping. Keep in mind that you need to roll the dough out thin, no more than 2 mm thick.
