Toasted Sesame Seed Pastry

How to make Toasted Sesame Seed Pastry Recipe

Ingredients:
2 tbsp sesame seeds
160g standard plain flour
120g butter
good pinch of salt
50ml cold water

Method:
Lightly toast sesame seeds in a frying pan over a low heat until amber in colour (this will not take long). Stir and shake pan often to prevent seeds burning. Allow to cool.

Place flour, sesame seeds, butter and salt into a large mixing bowl. Using your fingertips,gently rub ingredients together until they resemble rough breadcrumbs. Do not over-mix otherwise butter will begin to melt from the heat of your fingers.

Add water and mix until a dough is formed. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight.

Gently re-work pastry before using, taking care to ensure it remains cold and firm.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry as stated in your recipe.
