How to Make Paszteciki Polish Pasties

  1. In a large bowl, combine the meat (or vegetarian filling ingredients as specified below) with finely chopped onions, mushrooms, and sauerkraut (if using). Season generously with salt, pepper, and any additional herbs.
  2. Prepare the dough according to your chosen recipe (see note below for suggested dough).
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
  4. Using a 3-4 inch cookie cutter or a knife, cut out circles of dough.
  5. Place a spoonful of filling onto the center of each circle.
  6. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, crimping the edges firmly to seal.
  7. Place the paszteciki onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Brush the pastries with beaten egg or milk for a golden brown finish.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving with a bowl of barszcz (beetroot soup) or your favorite soup.
