  • 1/4 cup ice water (plus more if needed)

For the Fillings (Choose one or mix and match):

Savory Cheese and Herb Filling:

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetable Filling:

  • 1 cup finely chopped vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, spinach)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sweet Nut Filling:

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Chocolate Filling:

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or finely chopped chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter

For the Egg Wash:

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

Prepare the Pastry Dough:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
  2. Add chilled butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough starts to come together. Add more water, a tablespoon at a time, if necessary.
  4. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling:

  1. Choose your desired filling (savory or sweet).
  2. For savory fillings, mix the ingredients in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  3. For sweet fillings, combine ingredients in a bowl.

Assemble the Pastries:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a large rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log.
  5. Cut the log into 1-inch pieces and place them, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake the Pastries:

  1. Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg wash.
  2. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Let the pastries cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Tips:

  • Extra Crispiness: Brush pastries with melted butter before baking.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for crispiness.
  • Variation: Sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on top for extra texture and flavor.

Enjoy your homemade hand-rolled crispy pastries!
