Samsa with puff pastry potatoes

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make samsa with potatoes from puff pastry? Prepare your food. The water should be cold, you can even put it in the freezer for a while. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it softens at room temperature. Choose high-quality, natural oil, without vegetable fats. Take the highest grade flour. It is better suited for puff pastry due to its gluten content.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the flour into a wide container convenient for kneading dough. It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the baked goods will turn out airy and rise well during baking.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add salt, vinegar, cold water, stir.

5. STEP 5

   

   Make a well in the flour and pour in the mixture of liquid ingredients.

6. STEP 6

   

   Mix the dough first with a spoon.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then knead the dough with your hands. If the dough is still quite sticky, add a little flour. The dough should be stiff, but not too tight. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.

8. STEP 8

   

   Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. On a floured board, roll out one portion of the dough into a thin layer about 0.5 cm thick.

9. STEP 9

   

   Brush the dough layer evenly with softened butter, not reaching the edges.

10. STEP 10

    

    Roll out the second part of the dough in the same way as the first. Using a rolling pin, transfer the dough to a greased sheet.

11. STEP 11

    

    If necessary, tighten the edges of the dough so that the second layer completely covers the first. Brush the dough with the remaining oil.

12. STEP 12

    

    Roll the layers of dough into a tight roll.

13. STEP 13

    

    Wrap the roll into a tight snail. Place the dough in a bag and refrigerate for 2 hours.

14. STEP 14

    

    While the dough is chilling, prepare the filling. You can add any spices and spices you want to the filling. I took chopped coriander, it will give the filling a special taste and aroma.

15. STEP 15

    

    Peel the onion and cut into small cubes.

16. STEP 16

    

    Peel the pre-washed potatoes and cut them into very small cubes. Keep in mind that the cooking time for samsa will depend on the size of the vegetables. The finer the filling is chopped, the less time it will take to bake.

17. STEP 17

    

    In a convenient bowl, combine the chopped potatoes and onions. Add salt, add chopped coriander, stir.

18. STEP 18

    

    Roll out the chilled dough into a layer at least 0.5 cm thick. Do this carefully, without pressing too hard or sharply, so as not to tear the layers of dough.

19. STEP 19

    

    Roll the dough back into a log.

20. STEP 20

    

    Cut the roll into small pieces, depending on the desired size of the samsa. Place the chopped dough back in the refrigerator and take out the pieces one by one.

21. STEP 21

    

    Place each piece of dough on its side, that is, so that the layers of dough are parallel to the surface of the table. Roll out a piece of dough into a round cake.

22. STEP 22

    

    Place the filling in the middle.

23. STEP 23

    

    Bring the edges of the dough together, giving the pastry a traditional triangular shape. Pinch well. Similarly form the samsa from the rest of the dough.

24. STEP 24

    

    In a small bowl, beat the egg.

25. STEP 25

    

    Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the samsa on it, seam side down. Brush the top with beaten egg.

26. STEP 26

    

    Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

27. STEP 27

    

    Bake samsa in an oven preheated to 190-200°C for 40-45 minutes. If the baked goods begin to brown prematurely, cover the baking sheet with foil.

28. STEP 28

    

    Serve samsa with hot potatoes. Bon appetit!
