Ingredients

For dough:
4 cups flour
1 cup water
cup grape seed oil
tsp vinegar
1 tsp salt

For adjusting the consistency:
1 tbsp flour
cup water

For filling:
500 g low fat ground beef
2 large onions
1 tsp salt
1 tsp oregano
tsp ground black pepper

For shaping:
125 g butter
1 tbsp flour



Directions

DOUGH
Place 4 cups of flour on the counter
Create a cavity in the middle
Pour cup of grape seed oil, 1 cup of water, tsp of vinegar, and 1 tsp of salt in this hole
Gently combine the ingredients
Slowly incorporate all the flour
Then, being kneading the dough and knead for a minimum of 10 minutes while stretching the dough from time to time
Then, form a smooth ball of dough and lightly flour the top and bottom
Ideally, the dough will be soft and flexible, kind of like an earlobe
Cover the dough with a moist towel, so it doesnt become crust
Rest the dough for 1 hour at room temperature
FILLING
Dice the onions, place them into a pot
Add cup of water, cover with a lid, and cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes
Stir the ground beef and combine with the cooked onion
Then, add the black pepper, salt, and oregano; mix all the ingredients
Let the filling cool down to room temperature

Melt the butter using a double-boiler method to maintain the buttery flavour
Add 1 tbsp of flour into the melted butter, mix thoroughly and keep the mixture warm

SHAPING
1 hour of rest will make the dough softer
Check its plasticity by lightly pressing the dough. It should somewhat return to its original shape after you press on it
Shape the dough into a long cylinder to divide the dough into small and equal pieces
Use 2-finger-widths to measure 16 equal-sized pieces
Shape each piece into a smooth ball
Generously flour the dough and the counter
Using a rolling pin, shape the dough into 20 cm wide rounds
Lightly flour and set aside

Once all the pieces of dough have been rolled into small and thick rounds, roll each piece again; this time make them as big and thin as possible to create phyllos
When a phyllo is at its largest and thinnest state, sprinkle 1 tbsp of the butter-flour mixture over the phyllo and spread it to the edges using a brush
Then, place 1 tbsp. of filling along one edge
Flip the phyllo inwards on both sides of the filling and roll so the filling is trapped inside a cylinder
Stretch the roll at both ends and create a stick or a snail shape by twisting the roll on itself
Place them on an oven tray, then coat the pastries with the butter-flour mixture and gently press on them

COOKING
Set the oven to 390 F/ 200 C
Cook for 30 minutes, or until its colour turns golden
The Bachelors Pastry is a crispy, light, and delicious pastry
The Bachelors Pastry keeps its freshness for a long time
You can change the filling and create your own pastry!

Bon Appetite!
