Fermented Pastry

Fermented Pastry

Once you're well into Phase II, you'll enjoy making delicious pastries. This is very simple and doesn't take long to make. 

I always use gluten free flour. This behaves differently to gluten containing flour. In particular, it doesn't roll into sheets very well. Don't worry about it though! I tend to do any large pans piece meal. I take small amounts of pastry and flatten it with my hand and put this in the greased pan, repeating this until the pan is covered. I do the same with the top if making a pie. It tastes the same!

Ingredients

  • 500 gms GF flour
  • 250 gms beef dripping/lard
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 dessert spoons of brown sugar
  • 10 mls Kombucha
  • Water

Method

  1. Cut the lard into small pieces and rub into the flour until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs
  2. Stir in sugar.
  3. Add egg yolks and Kombucha and enough water to be able to bring the mixture into a ball. Better to have the mixture slightly more 'wet' than dry as you can always add more flour if needs be.
  4. Leave this to ferment for 4-12 hours.
  5. The pastry is ready to use.
  6. Enjoy!
