It is updating about homemade pastry - the water pastry, published on 28/8/2014.
Last time I posted the making of water pastry from scratch, and how to keep it. It did freeze very well, and I used it for cooking pie successfully.
The pastry of the pie was very crispy, thin, light and the colour was beautifully golden brown.

The pastry of the pie was very crispy, thin, light and the colour was beautifully golden brown.
And these are the steps that I took. Take the frozen pastry out to thaw. When it is thawed, place the pastry onto a floured board, roll it out to make a thinner pastry. Place on a greased baking tin, and brush with melted butter/oil in between. Place the filling and cover with the rest of the pastry sheets which is brushed with the melted butter/oil in between. Bake in the hot preheated oven until golden brown.

By brushing the pastry with the melted butter mixture, you will get a beautiful and flaky golden pastry after it is baked.

| Filling for the pie |
Place the filling on top of the pastry base, and cover with the rest of the pastry and continue brushing the pastry with the melted butter mixture. Filling for pie: cooked spinach, fresh herbs-parsley and thyme, grated Parmesan cheese and Feta cheese, eggs and salt to taste. Also, add a tablespoon of olive oil in the mixture.

Beautiful and delicious pie with golden, crispy pastry is served hot or cold, and it is yum to be served with salad. I served the cake with my own musclan salad and dressed with mustard dressing

If you did make the water pastry and now still frozen, it is time to use it for the baking. You can bake a cheese and egg pie like what I did, or you could use it for apple/fruit strudels. Have fun and happy baking. Now, you have it. A home-baked pie prepared from frozen homemade pastry is delicious and inexpensive. It is so easy, I do it very often as a treat for the family.
Another batch of water pastry you can prepare for freezing again, to get ready for the next baking. I think it is an excellent idea to have frozen water pastry made on hand.
