Yeast-Risen Dough for Empanadas

This dough is similar to that used for the Spanish pie or Empanada Gallega in my BREAD book. Although the empanada in the original recipe is a large pie, this also works very well for turnover-type empanadas (you can use this dough for any of the empanada recipes). A half recipe of this dough can also make an excellent single crust for a savoury pie or tart.
