Delightful Pastry: A Culinary Art Passed Down Through Generations

In the world of culinary arts, there are many secrets and traditions passed down through generations. Today, I’ll share a fascinating pastry technique I learned from a 60-year-old master. This method involves making a delicate and delicious pastry with a surprising filling, and I’ve been doing this almost every day since I learned this method!

The recipe is simple, yet the technique takes it to another level. Let’s dive in and discover how you can create this culinary masterpiece in your own kitchen.

Ingredients
To create this delightful pastry, you will need the following ingredients:

• 300 ml (1 1/4 cups) water
• 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1250 g (10 cups) flour
• 150 g (2/3 cup) butter or margarine
• 100 g (3.5 ounces) feta cheese (for the filling)

Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s move on to the steps!
Step 1: Preparing the Dough
Begin by mixing the whole egg in the water. Then, add the flour and salt to the mixture. Knead the dough until it is smooth and well-combined. Cover the dough with a bag and let it rest for 10 minutes. After resting, knead the dough again and divide it into two parts.

Step 2: Rolling the Dough
Take each part of the dough and roll it into buns. Then, roll the buns into thin sheets, approximately 0.4 cm in height. Make sure the sheets are even in thickness.
