Dough Preparation

Begin by mixing flour, water, yeast, and salt to form a soft, elastic dough. Knead well until smooth, then let it rise until doubled in size.

Preparing the Fillings

For savory variants, mix cheese until smooth. For sweet versions, prepare your chosen fruit jam or preserves.

Assembling the Pastries

Roll out the risen dough and cut into desired shapes. Place a small amount of filling in the center of each piece, then fold and seal the edges.

Cooking the Pastries

Fry in shallow oil until golden brown on both sides, or bake in a preheated oven until the pastries are puffed and golden. Serve warm.
