Ingredients
Units
For the pastry dough
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) whole wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp 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 tbsp (30 ml) vegetable shortening, chilled
- 3 to 4 tbsp (45 to 60 ml) ice water
For the Filling
- 1 cup (240 ml) button mushrooms, chopped
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) shelled edamame
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) snap peas, halved
- 1/2 onion, diced lengthwise
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
Others
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) grated truffle gouda
- 1 tsp butter
- Extra flour for dusting/rolling
Instructions
Make the pastry dough
- Mix the flour and salt and put in a food processor.
- Add the chilled butter cubes and pulse a few times to combine.
- Add the shortening and pulse a few more times, until the dough resembles a coarse cornmeal, with some small pieces of butter.
- Slowly add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition. The dough should stick together when you press it between your fingers.
- Place the dough on a clean surface and mould into a ball using your hands.
- Sprinkle with a little flour, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Make the filling
- Heat the oil and 1 tsp butter in a pan.
- Add the onions and garlic and saute till brown.
- Add all the vegetables and spices.
- Cover and cook on medium flame till the mushrooms have become tender.
- Remove the cover and saute on high flame to remove any excess liquid.
- Remove from heat and keep aside to cool.
Put it together
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. You can also roll it out between cellophane sheets in case it is sticking to your surface. Cut off the edges and make a rectangular shape.
- Butter the surface, top with the mushroom mixture and then some cheese.
- Sprinkle with black pepper and roll the dough into a swiss roll like shape.
- Using a sharp knife, cut 1 inch thick rounds from this and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Grease a baking dish and bake the wheels at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes, or till the dough has cooked and begins to brown.
- Cool slightly and serve warm or at room temperature.
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.
