One of my favorite pastry. I love to use guava and at times combine it with cream cheese. This pastry is so yummy and is made with a soft crust. This is not a very hard pastry to make as the puff sheets are already made.
Recipe:
1 box ready to bake pastry puff sheets
guava paste (found in your supermarket)
cream cheese ( should be solid to slice)
Preparation
(1) Cut Cream into 2 inch long pieces by 1/2 thick
(2) Slice guava paste into 2 inch long by 1/2 thick
(3) Set aside in refrigerator until pasty sheet is prepared
(4) Heat oven to 350 degree
(5) Lightly grease two baking sheets
(6) Thaw out pastry sheet, pastry should be cold and solid
(7) Unfold Pastry on lightly floured surface
(8) Remove parchment paper (if pastry crack when unfolding, sprinkle the crack with water and press edges together to seal)
(9) If pastry is thawed out too much and is sticky, put back in refrigerator for 10-15 minutes or freezer for 5 minutes
(10) Cut our circular shapes about 8-9 inches in circumference and a about 1/4 thick
(11) Gather all waste pieces, make in a ball and roll out and cut again until not much waste is left
(12) Take guava and cheese out refrigerator
(13) Put a piece of guava and a piece of cream cheese on top of each other in the middle of each pastry circles
(14) Fold over each circles to cover guava and cream cheese until edges meet
(15) Take a fork and crush around each half circles
(16) Put them into grease pan, 1 inch apart, put in oven
(17) Bake for 18 to 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown
(18) Remove from oven and allow to cool
That’s it, now you are ready to enjoy!
Note: You can make these for a party! Just buy few more puff pastry sheets. A tin of guava paste make a whole lot along with 2 packs of cream cheese
