How To Make Stuffed Rolled Pastry
To Make stuffed rolled pastry, you will need the following ingredients;
- Ground Meat – I often use beef or turkey and they both are incredibly delicious with these. Mince chicken thighs would work just as well.
- Ginger garlic – both add a nice flavor to the meat
- Spices – this is not heavily spiced and the puff pastry is really the star here. You can add more or less of the spices but don’t over spice it.
- Lemon juice – really helps bring out the flavor of the meat, spices, and herbs.
What is the Best Temperature for Baking Stuffed Rolled Pastry ?
It needs to be baked in a very hot oven, I find the best temperature to be 400F (200C). You need the high heat in order to create steam in the oven so that the dough will rise. If you find that your dough is browning too soon, just cover the pockets with a sheet of foil and continue baking.
How To Store
I think the best thing is to eat them as soon as possible. Although I have kept mine in the fridge for a couple of days and just reheated them either in the oven or microwave.
If you love stuffing, and who doesn’t, you have to try this savory and elegant main-dish stuffed rolled pastry.
