Puff pastry Unzips

Rasstegai can be prepared from kefir, yeast or puff pastry. The easiest option is to buy store-bought puff pastry without yeast, as in this recipe. Then it will take a minimum of time to cook. Delicious hot and cold. Hot pies can be washed down with cold milk, and cold ones with hot tea, and in general, at your request.

1. Preparing the filling. Peel and chop the onion. Fresh salmon fillet is washed, dried with napkins, cut into medium-sized cubes, put into a bowl, sprinkle with lemon juice and mix the pieces together.

2. We leave the dough to defrost at room temperature for 30 minutes - it should not completely defrost, but only become slightly pliable. I have a package weighing 450 g, consisting of 4 layers measuring 10 cm by 16 cm.

3. Each of the four layers is cut with a knife across into two equal parts - you get 8 rectangles. Each rectangle is slightly rolled up with a rolling pin so that it acquires a square shape, and also becomes thinner and larger in size. If the dough has not thawed much, then flour will not be needed and it will be easier to work with the dough, which is why it does not need to be thawed much. By the way, if you cut circles out of rectangles with a salad ring of a suitable diameter, then the unbuttons will come out more neat.

4. We proceed to the collection of unzips. In the middle of each rectangle (circle) we spread a spoonful of onion, salt and pepper. Spread a few pieces of fish on top and salt and pepper again. Visually, you need to divide the onion and fish fillet into 8 parts, so that there is enough for all the blanks.

5. Tightly pinch the edges of the blanks from both sides, leaving the middle untouched. We form boats from all the squares (circles). Put a teaspoon of oil in the hole of each pie.

6. The baking sheet is covered with baking paper of a suitable size, you can not lubricate anything. We spread the pies at a small distance from each other (since they will increase in volume) and lubricate them with beaten egg (they will be lighter) or egg yolk (they will be darker). We send the baking sheet to a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

7. We take the ready-made pies out of the oven and add one more teaspoon of butter into the hole of each. Cover the fresh pastries with a kitchen towel and let them stand for 10 minutes. Decorate ready-made pies with fresh dill - but this is optional.

I really liked the pies according to this recipe, not only because I love unsweetened pastries, but also because of the fish filling, which turned out juicy and fragrant, and also harmoniously combined with puff pastry.
