Directions
Cheese Sambousek, Small, cheese-filled pastries, eaten as snacks This recipe comes from the book A Baker’s Odyssey by Greg Patent It was recently featured on NPR , Very well written recipe I added the ground cumin into the dough at the pulsing stage instead of folding in the seeds at the end The dough turned a disturbing color, but the flavor was fabulous! I can see using this dough for other apps I only baked up a few of these, froze the rest right after step #21 They turned out pretty and tasty They bake up fine from the frozen stage, and I always like to have an assortment of apps in my freezer for impromptu occasions Thanks for sharing this recipe , These were very good Baked up beautifully I did loose some of the cheese out of several of them, due to tech error on my part I’m not very good with these types of pastries but I still like to try them out once in a while The instructions were very well written Thanks for sharing
