Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat pastry flour
- 0.75 cups Cold unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Diet guava jam
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.25 cup Sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat pastry flour and salt.
Cut cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently after each addition until the dough comes together.
Form the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.
Spread the diet guava jam evenly over one half of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Fold the other half of the dough over the jam-covered half, pressing the edges together to seal.
Trim the edges as needed, and using a fork, crimp the edges to ensure they are tightly sealed.
Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash, and brush it lightly over the pastry.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the pastry for added texture.
Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let the pastry cool slightly before slicing into squares.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
