Instructions

Step 1

Making the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and fresh yeast.

Add the water and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients.

Mix until a smooth dough forms, then knead it on a floured surface for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Once kneaded, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise until it has doubled in size.

Step 2

Preparing the Filling

While the dough is rising, prepare your filling. In a separate bowl, combine the chopped onion, minced garlic, and desired herbs.

Add the filling of your choice and season it with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.

For moisture, integrate cold water into the filling and mix until combined.

Step 3

Assembling and Baking

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it onto a floured surface.

Divide the dough into equal pieces based on your preferred size.

Take one piece, roll it out, and place a portion of the filling in the center. Fold the dough over the filling and seal it well.

Place the filled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Celsius (482 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake the pastries for 17 to 20 minutes until golden brown.

Step 4

Serving

Once baked, remove the pastries from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Enjoy your delicious savory baked dough as a perfect appetizer or snack!

Servings

Once your pastries are out of the oven and beautifully golden, the real fun begins! 🎉 These pastries are perfect as appetizers for gatherings, served alongside a refreshing dip. You could also enjoy them as a hearty breakfast paired with eggs or your favorite smoothie for a healthy start to the day. Want to elevate your experience? Serve them hot and crispy with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil! 🍽️ Enjoy a luxurious experience by pairing these pastries with a glass of light red wine for an exquisite combo.

Feeling adventurous? 😍 Try filling your pastries with a combination of **meat and vegetables** for a comforting family dinner or a mix of **cheese and spinach** for a vegetarian delight! The options are endless!

Faq

  • What should I do if my dough is too sticky?

    If your dough is sticking to your hands or the surface, gradually add more flour, a little at a time, until it becomes manageable.

  • How do I know when the pastries are properly baked?

    Your pastries are ready when they turn a golden brown color and emit a delicious aroma. A quick tap on the bottom should sound hollow.

  • Can I freeze these pastries for later use?

    Absolutely! Bake them, then allow to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be enjoyed within a month for best quality!

  • What’s the best way to reheat my pastries?

    To enjoy them crispy again, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and heat for about 10-15 minutes. This will ensure they stay flaky and delightful!

  • Can I add other fillings besides those mentioned?

    Definitely! Feel free to experiment with your favorite ingredients like mushrooms, bell peppers, or different types of cheeses.

  • How can I achieve a golden finish on my pastries?

    A quick egg wash (beaten egg brushed on top) before baking will give you that beautiful golden color. For a vegan option, use almond milk or a plant-based egg substitute.
