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
- 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.
