PUFF PASTRY ROLLS WITH FILLING
We bring you a recipe to make exquisite puff pastry rolls filled with minced meat and halloumi. A combination that will undoubtedly surprise you with its flavor and texture. We will use Kanaki puff pastry, which provides a light and crispy base, perfect for holding the flavorful, spiced filling.
Prepare the filling. First, prepare the filling for the puff pastry rolls. in a large bowl, mix the minced meat with the grated halloumi. then add the finely chopped onion and garlic, and mix well. to give it a special touch, add the spices: oregano, cumin, nutmeg, paprika, and salt. knead the mixture until all the ingredients are fully combined. this step is important so the flavors blend together evenly.
Prepare the puff pastry. Now, roll out the kanaki puff pastry on a flat surface. cut it into three equal horizontal strips. place a line of filling in the center of each strip. it is important not to overfill the pastry to prevent it from breaking when rolling. then, brush the edges of the dough with beaten egg so they seal properly.
Form the rolls. Roll up the pastry strips to form cylinders with the filling inside. once you have the cylinders, cut each one into four equal pieces.
Baking. Preheat the oven to 180°c (350°f). place the pastries on a baking tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. brush the surface of the pastries with beaten egg and sprinkle some poppy seeds on top for a crunchy and decorative finish. finally, bake the pastries for 20–30 minutes, until golden and crispy. the puff pastry rolls are ready!
