hello and welcome to jamieoliver.com I’m
one of the food team and today I’m going
to show you how to put your pasta
together first of all cut your pastry
now keep one hand on the board to
another half aside for later dust it
really well with flour take your rolling
pin
that’s the rolling pin flour just to
make sure it won’t stick and then
carefully roll out your pastry rolling
it out as evenly as you can tell it’s
both the thickness of well pound coin or
half a centimeter when you pace your
soul will don’t grab a normal standards
of cereal –bowl I have a normal cereal
bowl like that turn it upside down
Miller your pastry and then use a tip
your knife to cut around it just hold
the ball in place with your left hand or
your right hand if you’re left-handed
then we go fold this pastry up again
roll it again for another posting half

these nice little disks

spoonful of this filling thanks Joe
make sure that it’s cold enough leave a
gap we’ll back to 3 centimeters run the
edge then we’ll do the egg wash dip the
brush just brush around the edge the
pastry – make sure the pastry is wet
they’re not soaking we don’t egg running
off onto the table well the pastry over
match it it’s opposite edge and press
down to make sure the edge of seal use

I’ll take a little bit more beaten egg
just brush it on top of the pasty
but roasting tray here to bake pasty on
and it’s a little bit of greaseproof
paper cut to fit sprinkle a little
cornmeal or polenta will do fine and
what this does just helps keep the pasty
from sticking and also gives it a little
bit of crunch when you eat it pop it in
the tray a little more cornmeal on the
top that’s your pasty bake it in a hot
oven for 30 35 minutes until crispy
cooked through and golden brown
