Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 800 grams (28.2 ounces) puff pastry
- 200 grams (7.1 ounces) bacon, sliced
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) hard cheese, grated
Supporting Ingredients:
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) tomato sauce
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) spring onions, chopped
- 3 tablespoons yogurt
Flavor Enhancers and Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 egg, beaten for egg wash
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Fresh dill, chopped
- Vegetable fat for greasing
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 180°C and coat a 22 cm baking mold with vegetable fat for easy release.
- Dust a clean surface with flour and gently unfold the puff pastry sheet.
- Using a spatula, distribute tomato sauce evenly across the entire pastry surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Arrange bacon slices uniformly over the tomato sauce layer.
- Generously scatter chopped spring onions and grated cheese across the bacon, ensuring even coverage.
- Carefully roll the pastry from one edge, creating a tight, compact log with smooth, consistent pressure.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the log into segments approximately 2-3 cm thick.
- Position the rolled pieces cut-side upward in the prepared baking mold, allowing slight spacing between rolls.
- Delicately brush the pastry tops with beaten egg for a glossy, golden finish.
- Transfer the mold to the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes until pastry achieves a rich, puffy golden-brown color.
- While baking, combine minced garlic, fresh dill, and yogurt in a small bowl to create a complementary sauce.
- Remove rolls from oven, let cool briefly, then serve warm with a drizzle of garlic-dill yogurt sauce.
Notes
- Ensure puff pastry is chilled but pliable for easier rolling and better texture.
- Use high-quality bacon and cheese for richer, more intense flavor profiles.
- Create gluten-free version by substituting regular puff pastry with gluten-free alternative.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda for varied taste experiences.
