Manti with potatoes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use a gluten-free flour blend for the dough, but the texture may be slightly different. Add xanthan gum if your blend doesn't include it for better elasticity.
Cooked manti can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a steamer or microwave.
Absolutely! Replace the eggs with a flaxseed or chia seed mixture (1 tbsp ground seeds + 3 tbsp water per egg) and use plant-based butter for the filling.
Freeze uncooked manti on a baking sheet first (to prevent sticking), then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook directly from frozen, adding 5-10 extra minutes to steaming time.
While traditionally steamed, you can bake manti at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes. Brush with oil first for a crispier texture.
Try serving with garlic yogurt sauce, tomato-based salsa, or browned butter with paprika. Sour cream or herb-infused olive oil also work well.
Adjust dough division proportionally (e.g., for smaller manti, divide dough into 30 pieces). Cooking time remains similar for small manti; add 5-10 minutes for large ones.
Chilling relaxes the gluten, making the dough easier to roll and shape without springing back. It also improves texture.
Yes! Mushrooms, carrots, or zucchini work well. Just dice them small and sauté lightly first to remove excess moisture.
