Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Start by preparing the jam: In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries and blueberries over medium heat.
Cook the berries for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they break down and release their juices.
Add lemon juice and chia seeds, stir to combine, and let simmer for another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool and thicken.
While the jam is cooling, prepare the pastry dough: In a large bowl, mix whole wheat flour, salt, and granulated erythritol.
Add the unsalted butter, cut into small cubes. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough starts to come together.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Cut the dough into 3-inch squares and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cooled sugar-free jam onto the center of each square.
Fold the squares into triangles, sealing the edges using a fork. Use a sharp knife to make two small slits on top of each triangle to allow steam to escape.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush each pastry with the egg wash to give them a glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and flaky.
Allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free jam-filled pastries.
