Description

These truffled pastry wheels are a savory treat made with leftover pastry dough, filled with mushrooms and truffle cheese for a rich, indulgent snack.

Ingredients

Scale

For the pastry dough

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 stick chilled unsalted butter, diced into 1/2-inch cubes (keep the cubes in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before using so they’re really chilled)
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening, chilled
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water

For the Filling

1 cup button mushrooms, chopped
¼ cup shelled edamame
½ cup snap peas, halved
½ onion, diced lengthwise
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon olive oil
½ teaspoon paprika
Salt & pepper to taste

Others

½ cup grated truffle gouda
1 teaspoon butter
Extra flour for dusting/rolling

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
To make the pastry dough, mix the flour and salt in a food processor. Add the chilled butter cubes and pulse a few times to combine. Add the shortening and pulse until the dough resembles coarse crumbs.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are soft and all the moisture has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/8-inch thick.
Spread the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the grated truffle cheese over the mushrooms.
Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 1/2-inch thick slices and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry wheels are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

These pastry wheels are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness. Feel free to experiment with different fillings like spinach and feta or caramelized onions and goat cheese.
