Choose your fillings

First things first, let's get those fillings ready. Think outside the box and explore new flavors. How about trying a combination of minced beef, caramelized onions, and melted cheese? Or perhaps a delicious mix of chicken, bacon, and mushrooms? Get creative and let your taste buds guide you!

2

Prepare the dough

To encase those mouthwatering fillings, you'll need some dough. Mix together flour, butter, salt, and a touch of magic (optional) to create a soft and pliable pastry. Don't worry if you're not a dough expert! We'll guide you through the process step by step.

3

Assemble your pies

Now it's time to put it all together. Roll out the dough into circles and place a generous spoonful of your chosen filling in the center. Fold the edges together and seal them with a touch of water. Use a fork to create a decorative pattern around the edges. Don't worry about making it perfect; imperfections add character!

4

Add some pizzazz

To truly elevate your twisted meat pies, it's all about the toppings. Brush the tops of your pies with a beaten egg for a glossy finish. Sprinkle some sesame seeds, grated cheese, or even crushed potato chips on top for an extra crunch. Get wild with your toppings and let your creativity shine!

5

Bake to perfection

Pop your assembled pies into a preheated oven and let the magic happen. Bake them at 200°C (or 400°F) for about 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. The aroma filling your kitchen will make it hard to resist diving in immediately, but patience is key. Let them cool for a few minutes before devouring.
