Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake samsa with chicken from puff pastry at home? First, prepare the necessary ingredients for the dough. It is advisable to place the butter in the freezer for 30 minutes before kneading the dough. The water should be very cold, so it is better to add an ice cube to a glass of water. Sesame seeds can be used as desired.

Step 2

Sift flour and salt into a bowl.

Step 3

Step 3
Make a small well in the center and grate very cold butter into it using a coarse grater.

Step 4

Step 4
Very quickly, lightly mix the butter into the flour. Do it very quickly and even a little sloppy, do not try to achieve a uniform crumb. The butter should remain in large chunks, as these chunks of butter will give the light, flaky texture.

Step 5

Step 5
Pour in ice water little by little. Do not pour in all the water at once; it is possible that you have “weaker” flour and it will take less water. It is better to add it in portions.

Step 6

Knead the uneven dough. During kneading, do not bring the dough to homogeneity and mix it only until it can be molded into a ball! It is important! The butter should not melt from the warmth of your hands!
