Apricot Bow Pastry Recipe

طريقة التحضير

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 190°C / 375°F (top and bottom heat) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. 2
   Roll out the puff pastry and cut out circles using a 10 cm (4 inch) round cutter.
3. 3
   Spread about 1 teaspoon of jam onto each circle.
4. 4
   Fold each circle in half to form a semicircle, with the curved side facing you.
5. 5
   Using a knife, make two cuts from bottom to top, but do not cut all the way through, so the dough stays connected at the bottom.
6. 6
   Gently bend the two outer pieces toward the center and press lightly with your fingers.
7. 7
   Take the middle strip, fold it over the center, and tuck it underneath so the pastry keeps its bow shape while baking.
8. 8
   Mix egg yolk and milk and brush the pastries with the mixture. Sprinkle with pearl sugar.
9. 9
   Bake for about 15–18 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
10. 10
    Let them cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar before serving. Crispy puff pastry with a sweet apricot filling and a beautiful bow shape – simple, elegant, and perfect for a quick pastry.
