More puff pastry recipes

Speaking of puff pastry sheets - this has inspired my sister to send a couple of recipes, one of which I have been cooking for a long time, but the other was new to me. The message is that with puff pastry, you can also make magnificent piroshki-like items, filled with things such as broccoli or feta cheese. Personally, I have cooked the variety with mushrooms since the dawn of time.

Broccoli-piroshki

cook broccolis, crush with a fork, mix with ricotta cheese, and eggs.

take the puff pastry sheets and make holes with a fork. Then pile the mixture on one half of the sheet and cover with the other half. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 200C (400F).

The filling can also be made with mushrooms (grill onions, then add mushrooms, add ricotta), or with feta cheese (ca 200g feta cheese, 2 eggs, mix well).

Unfortunately, these items have so far proven unpopular with the children!

Quiche

Experimenting with quiche here.

Crumbly dough:

1 1/4 cups of flour

salt

4ounces of butter (about 100g) - actually, after tasting it, I think half of that would also be enough!

6 teaspoons of water

mix dry ingredients, add butter (soft), add water, put together the dough. Let stand for 20 minutes in a cool place.

Flatten dough and put in the greased form (use olive oil).

Use a cup of milk (this replaces cream - fewer calories!), 4 ounces of grated parmesan or cheese of taste, pepper, cut ham, fried mushrooms, fried onions, or what else you can think of, 4 eggs, mix everything well. Pour into the dough in the form.

Bake for 45min at 400F or until nicely golden and crusty.

This is great with a salad. Needs yet to get children-tested!

Pizza

Next to pasta, pizza is another children's favorite. However, you don't need to order a pizza, you can create your own from scratch in less time it takes to deliver one (provided you got the dough going in the morning!).

Pizza dough recipe:

4 1/2 cups of flour
1/4 cup of olive oil
1 3/4 cup of water
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of yeast

combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl, mix well with a fork. Add the water and the olive oil. Mix again, knead a little, form a ball with the dough. Let it stand from 1 hour (absolute minimum) to as much as 12 hours.

It is also popular to buy the sauces, which again is completely unnecessary. If you don't have fresh tomatoes, use canned tomatoes. Cook for 10-20 minutes, add some olive oil, salt, and pepper. That's it!

Use grated mozzorella cheese and anything else your heart desires... mushrooms, ham, onions, peppers, although children usually like it quite plain. Applying the sauce and the toppings to the pizza is an activity that children really adore.
