Homemade peinirli (savory pastries)

Homemade peinirli (savory pastries) that you’ll love.Ideal snack for your guests!

INGREDIENTS:
For the dough
• ½ kg flour (from hard wheat,or if you dont have all purpose flour) that’s the one I use
• 1 sachet dry yeast
• 1 ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Some warm water for the kneading
• Some melted butter

PREPARATION:
Add all the ingredients in a large bowl, except the water, mix them together

and slowly add the warm water

and knead the dough until its pliable and won’t stick to your fingers. Cover it and let it rest for 45 minutes.

Afterwards open the dough in a large phyllo about 5-6 mm thickness,

using your knife cut a slice and depending on the sizes of the peinirli you want to make divide it in pieces.

Then pinch the two edges and slightly stretch them while softly pushing the dough with your fingers to stick together until it looks like a boat’s shape.

Turn the sides inside by slightly pulling them up so you can fill them up with your filling.

Smear them with butter and pop them in a preheated oven to bake for about 15 minutes,

then remove them and fill them with the ingredients of your liking and pop them in the oven again for another 15 minutes.

Let me add here that you can leave the unfilled peinirli to cool down completely, store in a well closed food bag and store in your freezer so you’ll have ready make peinirli to fill every time you want one, you just fill them and bake them for 15 minutes.


GOOD LUCK!!!
