Ingredients
Ingredients for Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick, room temperature
- 1 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 1 plash orange juice
Ingredients for Filling:
- ¾ cup mozzarella cheese cut into 1-inch strips
- ¾ cup guava paste guava paste, cut into 1-inch strips
Instructions
Dough Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream the room temperature butter and granulated sugar.
- Beat the egg and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a splash of orange juice.
- Knead the dough on a flat surface until it's smooth, adjusting with a bit more flour or water if necessary.
- Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
Assembly and Baking Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a floured surface, roll out one of the chilled dough disks to a ⅛-inch thickness.
- Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out circles. Place the circles on the prepared baking sheet.
- Re-roll any leftover dough and continue cutting out circles until all the dough is used.
- Place a strip of mozzarella cheese and a strip of guava paste in the center of each dough circle.
- Fold the dough over the filling to create a triangle shape, ensuring the filling remains visible at the center. I fold the left side towards the center, then repeat with the right and finally the bottom, forming a triangle while ensuring the filling stays put.
- Pinch the corners to seal the edges.
- Chill the assembled pastries in the fridge for another 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the pastries for 20-25 minutes until they turn lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve the pastries warm, or store
