HOT WATER CRUST PASTRY PASTY FILLING

For the pasty filling you could use combination of vegetables: potatoes, onions, garlic, carrots, peas and corn. You could add tofu, mushrooms or seitan.

To make vegan pasty:

1. Roll out the dough and cut out.
2. Place the filling in the center.
3. Brush each pastry with vegan “egg-wash” (recipes for egg wash could be found in these post).
4. Bake 25-20 minutes (365F) until golden brown.

You could bake a pie with a hot water pastry using a springform cake tin because the dough might be fragile once baked.
