Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Greek yogurt (low fat)
- 60 milliliters Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 unit Egg
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Mix well.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes. Add these cubes to the flour mixture.
Using your fingertips, gently rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt, mixing until incorporated.
Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition until the dough begins to come together. The dough should be slightly sticky but workable.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow it to rest.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
After chilling, roll the dough out onto a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness and into a rectangular shape.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and use it as an egg wash to brush over the surface of the dough.
Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, forming a log.
Cut the log into 1 to 1.5-inch slices and place them flat onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry rolls are golden brown and flaky.
Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your low-fat flaky pastry rolls warm or at room temperature.
