Method

  • For the dough: Sift the flour.
  • Place the flour and salt in a large bowl.
  • Mix.
  • Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Next add 1 beaten egg yolk and the water.
  • Mix well your hands.
  • Try to work quickly.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 10 -15 minutes.
  • Now take the chilled dough and roll out into a large square that is about 18 inch thick, using a rolling pin.
  • You need two different sized round shaped cookie cutters for this (one 2 1/2 inch, second 1/2 inch ).
  • Using a 2- 1/2 inch diameter round cookie cutter, cut 16 dough rounds.
  • After that take 8 of the pastry rounds and cut a round shape out of the middle of that using the 1/2 inch cutter.
  • Now separate the middle, smallest size round.
  • For the filling: In a pan heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat, add garlic and saute until slightly softened.
  • Next add onion, salmon, and prepared (or leftover) mashed potatoes.
  • Mix until onion is softened and everything is heated through.
  • Add pepper and salt.
  • Mix well.
  • Now place your prepared filling (about 1 tablespoon) on the big pastry rounds leaving a small space around the edge free of filling.
  • Next place one tomato slice on the middle of the filling.
  • Brush the edges of the pastry with some egg wash then place another pastry round (one with the center cut out) over the top and press down to seal.
  • (see picture)
  • After that, you can decorate the pastry with small flowers.
  • I have done in the photo above .
  • you can use scraps of the dough and cut out small flowers (using a small flower cookie cutter or a knife) and then place over the top of the pastry.
  • Brush the remaining egg on top of the pastry.
  • Next, I made twisted rope out of scraps of the dough and put the rope around the top edge of the pastry, to make border.
  • Brush the remaining egg on top of the twisted rope.
  • Bake about 25 minutes at 200 cup degrees or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Serve and enjoy.
