- The bottom of the pastry got soggy.
- The filling was too wet or warm when you put it on the pastry. Cool completely before filling!
Savoury Minced Pork Roll
The magic of puff pastry is that the fat between the thin layers turns to steam during baking, pushing the dough apart (physical leavening) to create a crispy, leafy structure. Paired with a juicy meat filling, it makes an elegant yet simple dinner that is excellent both hot and cold.

Instructions
1
✓
Sauté the onion in the oil, add the meat, and fry until crumbly. Season (salt, pepper, paprika, garlic).
Tip: Evaporate the juices completely; the ragu should be 'dry', otherwise it will make the pastry soggy.
2
✓
Let the filling cool COMPLETELY. Stir in the chopped parsley.
Tip: Hot filling would melt the fat layers of the pastry before baking, preventing it from puffing up.
3
✓
Roll out the pastry, spread the meat over it, and roll it up tightly. Seal the ends.
Tip: Prick the top with a fork so steam can escape.
4
✓
Brush with beaten egg and bake at 200°C for approx. 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Tip: High heat is needed for the pastry to puff.
