About

The Lebanese eat a variety of small pies with savoury fillings. These make delicious canapes that are lovely to look at, or a nice light snack. I make them all with the same pastry dough.

Method

Knead the flour and oil together with your hands until the mixture becomes doughy. Add the water. Then gather it together and place on a work surface, kneading it by hand until it is soft. Put the dough in a bowl and cover with clingfilm. Leave for 30 minutes until it has risen.

Makes pastry for approximately 25 pies.
